Profile

Prof. Fang Lu

Lu Fang, Researcher and PhD Supervisor. Centered on the "dual carbon" goals, her research focuses on fundamental scientific issues and applications in biomass conversion. She has developed new strategies for hydrogen bond recognition and selective control in biomass, as well as innovative methods for catalyst system design, achieving efficient catalytic conversion of biomass into energy chemicals and new materials. In this field, she has led over 20 various research projects, including key national R&D programs and National Natural Science Foundation projects. She has published more than 70 papers in journals such as Nat. Commun. and Angew. Chem., with a single paper receiving over 1100 citations. She has applied for over 110 patents (34 granted). Her recent work mainly revolves around two key scientific issues: hydrogen bond recognition and selective control in biomass conversion, and the selective cleavage of C-C and C-O bonds. She has achieved multiple innovative results such as low-carbon catalytic production of hydrogen and methane from biomass, green preparation of nanocellulose, development of novel micro-nanofiltration materials, and efficient synthesis of active components of carbohydrate glycosides, which have been industrialized.
