A new method of ceramic powder dispersion and the world-leading preparation method of porous ceramics have been successfully developed. In addition, the hydration mechanism of aluminum nitride materials and ceramic matrix composites has also been deeply studied internationally, and remarkable results have been achieved. At present, he is mainly engaged in the research of diesel engine exhaust purification catalyst and ceramic smoke filter, and 13 papers have been included in SCI. Reviewer of Journal of American Ceramic Society, an internationally renowned material journal. Project under research: 1. Research and development of nanometer rare earth catalyst for diesel engine exhaust purification funded by Qingdao Science and Technology Bureau. 2。 Research and application of ceramic membrane, supported by Qingdao Science and Technology Bureau.
Professor Zhang, as the founder of inorganic non-metallic materials engineering major in School of Materials, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, has been committed to improving the application ability of students in this major and often teaches students how to be a man in class. Materials Science and Engineering English, co-edited by him, is very popular among undergraduates majoring in materials science. Chen Kezheng, Yongheng Zhang and Xu Lei from the Institute of Materials Science jointly taught "Introduction to Materials Science", which was the first class in China.
Recently, Professor Yongheng Zhang's research achievements "three theories of eternity" are called "theory of eternal language knowledge", "theory of eternal material energy time and space" and "theory of eternal heat-induced exhaustion", which are well received by students.
