About

Xinliang Feng is a pioneering materials chemist whose research focuses on the synthesis and application of two-dimensional (2D) materials, graphene, and conjugated polymers for energy storage, electronics, and catalysis. He is renowned for developing innovative strategies to create functional carbon-based nanomaterials, including the microengineering of hollow graphene tube systems that form conductive hydrogels with extremely low filler concentrations—as low as 0.16 vol%. This breakthrough, published in a highly cited 2021 paper, mimics an artificial nervous system within a hydrogel matrix, enabling exceptional electrical conductivity while maintaining the material's soft, flexible nature. His work has garnered over 54,000 citations, reflecting profound global impact. Feng has also made seminal contributions to the design of 2D conjugated polymers and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), advancing organic electronics and electrocatalysis. As a director at the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics, he has received numerous accolades, including the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant, and is recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher. His visionary approach continues to inspire next-generation materials for sustainable technologies.
