Lizhi Zhang received his Ph. D. degree in environmental science from Chinese University of Hong Kong, China in 2003. After his postdoctoral research in department of Chemistry, Chinese University of Hong Kong, he joined in college of chemistry, Central China Normal University located at Wuhan and became a full professor of chemistry since 2005. He worked at Max-Planck Institute of Colloid and Interface as an Alexander von Humboldt Scholar from 2006 to 2007. His current research mainly aims to develop green environmental pollution control methods based on photocatalysis, Fenton reaction, and molecular oxygen activation induced by low valent iron species. He has published 201 peer-reviewed articles with more than 11800 citations and a h-index of 59. Among these articles, there are 4 JACS, 8 Appl. Catal. B, and 11 ES&T papers. In 2014, he won National Natural Science Funds for Distinguished Young Scholars of China and was selected as one of the most cited Chinese authors in the field of Chemistry by Elsevier’s Scopus database. In 2015, he was selected as a Changjiang Scholar Professor of the Ministry of Education of China.
