Research fields: He is mainly engaged in the design, synthesis and properties of molecular ferroelectric materials, organic-inorganic hybrid dielectric phase-transition materials. By modifying small organic amines and their further interacting with inorganic acids or metal salts, compounds with structural phase-transition were synthesized, and materials with significant electrical/ferroelectric phase-transition were screened. He has accumulated some theoretical and experimental experiences in screening and characterization of molecular ferroelectrics, chemical molecule design and so on. So far, he has published more than 60 SCI papers, and the papers have been cited more than 2000 times, among which he has published several papers as the first author or corresponding author in professional academic journals such as J. Am Chem Soc., Angew. Chem., and Nat. Commun et al.

Research projects：The Outstanding Youth Science Fund project (NSFC 22222502); The Major Research Program Cultivation project (NSFC 92156015); The Youth Science Fund project (NSFC 21956015).
