Research Group of Hong Jin Fan

Dr. Fan is a Professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences. His PhD project was Brillouin spectroscopy of acoustic phonons of porous silicon and phase-change materials. His postdoc research in Germany was about patterned growth and optical properties of ZnO nanowires, and in Cambridge he worked on ferroelectric microtubes. Since joining NTU in 2008, he works on exploring new electrode materials and understanding their functions in energy conversion and storage processes, including catalysis for hydrogen generation, new redox batteries and flexible energy devices. He pioneered the application of atomic layer deposition and high-power plasma in synthesizing and tailoring energy materials. Currently his group focuses on developping high-energy-density and low-cost Zn based batteries and atomic electrocatalysts.

Dr. Fan widely collaborates. He has co-authored 300 journal papers with an H-index of 98. He has been recognized as Highly Cited Researcher consecutively since 2016 by Clarivate Analytics. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Materials Today Energy, and editorial/advisory board member of journals including Energy and Environmental Sciences, eScience, Small, Advanced Science, Advanced Materials Technology, Next Materials, etc.

范红金，新加坡南洋理工大学数理学院教授。本科毕业于吉林大学物理系，新加坡国立大学获博士学位（多孔硅和相变材料的布里渊光谱），其后分别在德国马普研究所（氧化锌纳米线阵列）和英国剑桥大学（铁电微米管）从事博士后工作。2008年加入南洋理工大学，既享受办公室日出日落蝶飞鸟唱，也纵情篮球场奔跳狂欢。半生科研路，一世象牙塔。往后余生，平淡荣华估计都是它。

范教授的主要研究领域为纳米材料在能源中的应用，包括钠电池，锌电池和光电催化。“细雨湿衣看不见，闲花落地听无声"。平淡耕耘，尚无建树。合作发表280多篇论文。从2016年起连续成为科睿唯安材料类全球高被引作者。他目前担任10多个国际期刊编委，现任 Materials Today Energy 主编，他做小编挺认真的。

“好写字但未临帖，爱唱歌然不识谱，惯写诗皆为打油。” 这是他的自我总结。三天打鱼两天晒网，希望这些小兴趣不要被科研的日常抹杀。
