Prof. Hongjie Dai has been awarded the prestigious Humboldt Research Prize

Prof. Hongjie Dai is an international authority in the field of materials chemistry, physics and nanoscience. His pioneering work has promoted basic research in chemistry and physics of quasi-1D carbon nanomaterials. He has made a great contribution to the development of single-wall carbon nanotubes, graphene nanoribbons, renewable energy storage, and nanomedicine. During his stay in Germany, he continues his research on carbon-based materials for electrocatalysis, batteries and nanomedicine.

Professor Dai is hosted by Prof. Xinliang Feng at the Dresden University of Technology and Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics.

The Humboldt research prize is awarded annually to up to 100 internationally renowned scientists worldwide for their outstanding research and lifetime achievements. For more information go to: https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/bewerben/foerderprogramme/humboldt-forschungspreis
