Persons
Chuanyi Wang is a distinguished professor at Shaanxi University of Science & Technology (SUST), China. He is a Member of European Academy of Sciences and Arts, Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry, Fellow of International Association of Advanced Materials, Life Fellow of RSA (The royal society for arts, manufactures and commerce), and Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher. Prof. Wang is also an associate editor or editorial board member for number of international journals. His research covers energy and environmental photocatalysis, nanostructured materials, surface and interface chemistry, etc.
Abdelkader Labidi, is a Post doctor-research associate at Shaanxi University of science and technology, China. His research studies are about new photocatalysts, electrocatalysts and adsorbents synthesis focusing on the design of photocatalytic materials based on the renewable resources as well as on the control of their morphology, structure and their efficiency to degrade the environmental contaminants.
Qiuhui Zhu is Lecturer at Wuyi University, China. His research interest mainly focuses on the design and synthesis of defective bismuth-based photocatalysts for environmental remediation and energy conversion.
