Resume: 

        Qingze Chen is an associate professor at Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He received his B.Sc. (2012) from China University of Geosciences, Wuhan, and Ph.D. (2018) from Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is working on the structure and surface reactivity of minerals, and the exploitation and utilization of mineral materials. These researches resulted in more than 20 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals, such as Chemical Communications, Chemical Geology, Applied Clay Science, Journal of Materials Chemistry A, and Chemical Engineering Journal. He also obtained 10 Chinese innovation patents. He joined the Youth Innovation Promotion Association, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2020). 

 

Research Interests：

Dr. Chen mainly focuses on (i) the surface reactivity of nano minerals. He studies the structure of nano minerals, the interfacial interaction processes between nano minerals (e.g., clay minerals and iron oxides) and environmental matters (e.g., organic molecule) by a combination of micro-beam/area technologies and spectroscopy; (ii) the development and application of mineral-based functional nanomaterials for pollution remediation and energy storage. A variety of novel adsorbents (e.g., organclay), catalysts (e.g., ferrihydrite/TiO2 and Pt-SiC/C), and electrode materials (e.g., nanosilicon and heteroatoms doped graphene) were successfully synthesized by using clay minerals/iron oxides as supports, precursors, or templates.
