Junwang Tang - Selected Publications#
Junwang has made seminal contributions to heterogeneous catalysis/photocatalysis in the past 25 years, involving photocatalytic molecular activation (including: H2O splitting, CH4 conversion, N2 reduction to NH3, CO2 reduction and benzene conversion to phenol) and microwave catalysis (environmental purification), encompassing new catalysts discovery, reaction mechanistic studies and reaction system design. To date, he has published >170 papers in leading journals (e.g. Nature Catalysis, Nature Energy, Chemical Reviews, Chem. Soc. Review, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Energy Environ. Sci., Nature Commu. et al), resulting in an H-index of 62, together with 11 patents. Ten representative papers over the past 5 years are listed below.
