Invited by School of Chemistry and Materials Science, Nanjing Normal University, Professor Honggang Fu from Heilongjiang University came to our school on May 17,2025 to give an academic report on "Design and Related Reaction Mechanism of Electrocatalytic Materials". More than 30 teachers and students from relevant majors of the Academy of Chemical Sciences participated in this academic report in 224 of Huaxing Building, which was presided over by Professor Zhi Su of the Academy of Chemical Sciences.

Honggang Fu, Professor, Key Laboratory of Functional Inorganic Materials Chemistry, Ministry of Education, Heilongjiang University. He has been selected as a distinguished professor of the Changjiang Scholars Award Program of the Ministry of Education, the first batch of "National Ten Thousand Talents Plan" million project leaders, and the national candidate of the New Century Million Talents Project. Member of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Department of Science and Technology Committee of Ministry of Education (two terms), Honorary Director of Photochemistry Professional Committee of China Renewable Energy Society; Deputy Director of Photocatalysis Professional Committee of China Photographic Society; Fellow of Royal Chemical Society of Britain and Fellow of China Chemical Society. He presided over and undertook more than 20 national projects such as key projects of NSFC and key R & D projects of Ministry of Science and Technology. Mainly engaged in the field of photocatalytic and electrocatalytic material design synthesis, structure control, in the material size, crystal phase, defect selective control synthesis and photocatalytic, electrocatalytic hydrogen production, organic synthesis and ORR, OER catalytic reaction process activity and stability, reaction mechanism and other aspects of research. More than 460 research papers have been published, cited more than 38000 times, H factor 98, more than 60 papers have entered ESI Top 1% highly cited papers, 8 papers have entered ESI Top 0.1% hot papers. He won 3 first prizes of provincial science and technology awards and 47 authorized invention patents.

Conversion and catalysis from renewable energy to chemical energy is an important way to reduce emissions and increase efficiency. Off-grid electrocatalysis technology driven by solar energy and wind energy can produce high value-added chemicals and fuels, and the development of efficient and stable electrocatalytic materials is the key. In this report, Professor Honggang Fu discussed in depth the size, morphology control, heterojunction construction and oxygen reaction mechanism of electrocatalytic materials. The effects of d-electron interaction, surface defects and active sites on the electrocatalytic performance of oxygen reaction were investigated by in situ XAFS and theoretical calculations.

After the report, Professor Honggang Fu had in-depth discussions and exchanges with relevant teachers and students attending the meeting, and gave detailed answers to the questions of teachers and students, which benefited everyone a lot. This report was a complete success.
