Zhang Jianbing

Biography

Jianbing Zhang received his Ph. D. degree in Microelectronics and Solid State Electronics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2010. His Ph. D. work focuses on synthesis and optical property of III-V (InP and InAs) quantum dots (QDs). He developed a new synthetic method for InAs QDs using a gaseous precursor. From 2012 to 2014, he worked as a postdoctor at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL, USA) with Prof. Arthur J. Nozik. His work at NREL involves new syntheses of PbS and PbSe QDs for excellent surface passivation and mechanism of QD solar cells. For the first time, he directly synthesized air-stable PbSe QDs and fabricated PbSe QD solar cells in air, demonstrating a record power conversion efficiency for PbSe QD solar cells. Jianbing Zhang joined School of Optical and Electronic Information at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2010. At present, his research involves synthesis of a variety of nanomaterials with different shapes (sphere, rod, core/shell, hollow and hetero- structrues) and their applications in optoelectronic and electronic devices.
