Major Research Achievements
1. Colloidal Interfacial Assembly Method
Proposed a novel colloidal interfacial assembly strategy for fabricating core-shell functional mesoporous colloidal microspheres, including magnetic mesoporous microspheres. This method has been successfully scaled up for industrial production of micro-mesoporous molecular sieve catalytic materials, with patent transfers exceeding 30 million RMB.
2. Advanced Synthesis Strategies 
Developed ligand-assisted cooperative co-assembly and residual carbon-supported framework crystallization approaches, leading to over 20 types of crystalline mesoporous metal oxide semiconductors with ultra-high specific surface areas and outstanding gas-sensing performance. Based on these materials, he has developed multiple ultra-sensitive gas sensor prototypes and intelligent electronic nose systems for applications in early disease warning and environmental monitoring.
