Summary of scientific research

As of December 2017, Wang Xun has published more than 200 SCI papers in nature and other journals, with a total citation of more than 16000 times. As the first author, he published a paper entitled "annual strategy for nano crystal synthesis" in 2005. Wang Xun has made a series of achievements in the field of controlled synthesis, formation mechanism and assembly of new inorganic nanocrystals. He creatively applied the badsolvent and goodsolvent in the growth process of nanocrystals. On the one hand, he can limit the size of nanocrystals (about 1 nm), on the other hand, he can effectively control the anisotropic force of ultrafine nanocrystals, so as to obtain new ultra-fine nanocrystals Fine and nanostructured materials. When the size of inorganic materials is limited to about 1 nm, the new properties of biomolecules and polymers will appear. It is possible to open up a new way for the research and application of inorganic materials by precisely controlling the cluster self-assembly in ultra-fine nano scale. For example, the controlled synthesis of ultra-fine nanowires and ultra-thin nanobelts with diameter / thickness of 1 nm has been realized.
