On July 23rd, 218, the organizing committee of the Eni Prize announced that the 11th Eni "Frontier Energy Award" would be awarded to Academician Wang Zhonglin, in recognition of his pioneering and significant contributions in inventing nano-generators for the first time, creating two original fields of self-driving systems and blue energy, and applying nano-generators to the energy fields of the Internet of Things, sensor networks, environmental protection and artificial intelligence.
Academician Wang Zhonglin's scientific research achievements
Wang Zhonglin has been persistently studying zinc oxide nanostructures for ten years, making zinc oxide a major material system in nanotechnology besides carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires. His article "Science" about the discovery of zinc oxide nanobelts has become one of the most cited papers in the field of materials in the world in the past ten years, with a single citation of 3,2 times, which was one of the two key reports in the general review of the progress of world nanotechnology published by the International Scientific Citation Agency (ISI) ISI)23.
Wang Zhonglin has published 1,1 journal articles (including 12 Science, 4 Nature and 15 Nature sub-journals), 15 patents, 5 monographs and 2 books and conference collections edited by Yu Ben. He has been invited to give more than 9 academic lectures and special reports of the conference. Published papers have been cited more than 145, times, and the H factor is 184. He is one of the top five authors in the world who have cited the most papers on materials and nanotechnology.
