Lingxia ZHANG，Professor of State Key Laboratory of High Performance Ceramics and Superfine Microstructure,  Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Science. Highly cited researcher (2018, Clarivate), Member of Youth Innovation Promotion Association of CAS (2012-), LU Jiaxi Young Talent Award, CAS (2010), First prize of Natural Science, Shanghai (2009), Rising star of Science, Shanghai (2008). She proposed an in-situ reaction method based on the selective modification of the inner and outer surfaces of mesopores to uniformly incorporate metal guest components in the channels, solving the agglomeration problem of loaded metals. She developed a series of strategies to modify the molecular structure of graphite-like carbon nitride, which significantly enhanced its photocatalytic performance. She constructed single atomic sites, regulated their electronic structures to effectively activate small molecule reactants and improve their catalytic activity or selectivity.
