Basic information

Dr. Bo Chen received his Ph.D. from Virginia Tech in the United States and remained at the university for postdoctoral research. From 2015 to 2022, he conducted postdoctoral research and served as a Research Assistant Professor in Professor Jinsong Huang’s group at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In December 2022, he joined the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Xi'an Jiaotong University. He has long been dedicated to research on perovskite solar cells and has published over 60 SCI papers, with more than 30 as the first or corresponding author in prestigious journals such as Nature Materials, Nature Communications, Science Advances, Joule, Chemical Society Reviews, and Advanced Materials. Two of his papers were selected as ESI Hot Papers, and eight were selected as ESI Highly Cited Papers, with over 11,000 SCI citations and an H-index of 40. He holds two granted U.S. patents and serves as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Physics. Additionally, he is on the editorial boards of Crystals and Frontiers in Electronic Materials and is a reviewer for more than 30 journals, including Nature Energy, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Joule, and Advanced Energy Materials.
