Dr. Hongbin Feng obtained his B.S. degrees at China University of Petroleum in 2006, and completed his Ph.D. with Prof. Jinghong Li at Tsinghua University and University of Science and Technology of China joint training in July 2013. Then he moved to University of Chinese Academy of Sciences as a Postdoctoral Fellow in July 2015. He is now a distinguished professor in Qingdao University. His current research interests focus on the study of 2D nanomaterials and carbon materials (graphene and CNTs) and their applications in energy storage and conversion materials, such as LIBs and SIBs and Li-S batteries.

He has published more than 20 papers in international journals, such as Nat. Commun., JACS, AM, Small, Chem. Rev., etc., in which 4 papers is highly cited in field, and the total citations is more than 1,500 times. He has developed a novel method, liquid phase exfoliation, which can produce 2D nanosheets from a range of layered materials such as graphene, MoS2 and black phosphorous. An important part of this work involves the processing of liquid-suspended 2D nanosheets assembled into functional structures and nano-composites, which can be used as energy storage and conversion materials.
