Academician Wang Zhonglin's scientific research achievements

In the past ten years, Wang Zhonglin has been persistently studying the nanostructure of zinc oxide, making zinc oxide a major material system in nanotechnology besides carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires. His article on the discovery of zinc oxide nanobelts published in Science has become one of the most cited papers in the field of materials in the world in recent ten years, with a single citation of 3,200 times. It is one of the two key reports in the Overview of World Nanotechnology Progress published by ISI) ISI)2003.

Wang Zhonglin has published 1 100 periodical papers (including Science 12, Nature 4, Nature 15 sub-periodicals), 50 patents 150 monographs, and 20 books and conference collections edited by Yu Ben. He was invited to give more than 900 academic reports and special reports. Published papers have been cited more than 145000 times, and the h factor is 184. He is one of the top five authors who have cited the most papers on materials and nanotechnology in the world.
