Li Wenhao, Ph.D. from Tsinghua University, supervised by Professor Wang Dingsheng.
Research Interests: The design, synthesis, and application of single-atom catalysts for synthetic reaction mechanisms.
Achievements: Li Wenhao proposed using metal-support electronic interactions in single-atom catalysts to replace ligands through analyzing organic synthesis mechanisms. He designed and developed a series of highly efficient and selective single-atom catalyst-mediated organic synthesis systems. His developments have proven practical in synthesizing simple molecular substrates and have been extended to complex substrates, including natural products, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides, offering valuable practical applications. His work provides new research directions for integrating single-atom catalysis with organic synthesis.
