Erhuan Zhang is an assistant researcher and as a master supervisor of Global Institute of Future Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He has obtained his PhD degree from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2020, and then start the postdoctoral research in Yadong Li’ group, Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University. Afterwards, he joined Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2023. He mainly focuses on the controlled synthesis, performance exploration and structure-activity relationship research of single-atom catalysts, which are devoted to developing new energy storage devices (such as metal-air batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, etc.). As the first/corresponding author, he has published some works in high-quality journals, such as J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Sci., Applied Catalysis B, et al. and has published more than 30 SCI papers so far. He has undertaken the international cooperation project of the National Natural Science Foundation, the National Natural Science Foundation, National Natural Science Foundation (the Youth project), and the Postdoctoral Science Founding project, and won the second prize of Jiangxi Province Natural Science Award in 2021.
