Academic Areas: Polymer-derived carbon

Recycling waste polymers to prepare high value-added carbon materials: Waste polymers have caused many environmental issues, and traditional physical and chemicals recycling methods could not meet with the requirements of sustainable development. Our research topic is focused on the “controlled carbonization” of waste polymers into porous carbons for applications in the solar steam generation, photo-catalytic degradation of organic pollutants, water evaporation power generation, supercapacitors, CO2 capture, and chiral separation.

Until April 25, 2021, Prof. Gong has published 102 SCI papers, with the citation of >2600 and the H-index of 32. Prof. Gong owns four authorized patents. For more detailed information, please visit our group website: http://www.polymer.cn/ss/gongjiang_hust/index.html
