UV-Visible Photocatalysis for Clean Energy Production and Pollution Remediation

Prof. Xinchen Wang is currently the Vice President of Fuzhou University, Director of the State Key Laboratory of Photocatalysis on Energy and Environment as well as the Dean of College of Chemistry of Fuzhou University. He obtained his BSc and MSc at Fuzhou University and PhD at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 2006, he moved to The University of Tokyo as a JSPS fellow and then Max Planck Institute of Colloid and Interfaces as an Alexander von Humboldt fellow, and was promoted as a Group Leader during 2008-2012. He started his professorship in Fuzhou University at 2005. He is a pioneer in the research of the water splitting using g-C3N4 photocatalyst. His research interests cover catalysis and photocatalysis, and he published more than 250 peer-reviewed papers with H-index of 96.
Prof. Masakazu Anpo is presently a Special Honor Professor & International Advisor of the State Key Laboratory of Photocatalysis on Energy and Environment, Fuzhou University. He worked for 40 years at Osaka Prefecture University and served as Dean, Vice President & Executive Director for the past 10 years and is now a Professor Emeritus. He is a pioneer in the research of photochemical reactions on solid surfaces, design of visible-light-responsive TiO2 photocatalysts, and single-site heterogeneous photocatalysts constructed within zeolites. He is the Editor-in-Chief of Res. Chem. Intermed. (Springer). He has published more than 100 books and 500 original peer-reviewed papers. He is a member of Academia Europaea and Science Council of Japan, and Honorary Fellow of Chinese Chemical Society.
Professor Xianzhi Fu received his Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from Peking University, China, in 1991. He did postdoctoral research on catalysis and photocatalysis at Peking University and University of Wisconsin-Madison, respectively. He joined Fuzhou University in 1997 where he was promoted to a full professor in 1998. He is the President of Fuzhou University since 2012. He is a pioneer in the research of photocatalysis in China. His research interests are mainly focused on photocatalysis. He is the author or co-author of more than 350 peer-reviewed scientific publications and 40 patents. Professor Fu has won many important awards including the National Science and Technology Progress Award. He was elected as a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2009.
