On Nov 12, invited by Prof. Jian Liu, Dr. Peng Li came to visit Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics. He gave an academic report entitled “Long-term protective effect of layered nanomaterial LDH on interference foliar spray of plant antiviral RNA.” At the end of the report, Dr. Peng Li and participants held extensive discussions on the theme of the report, and then visited our lab.
Dr. Peng Li has been working on clay materials since undergraduate period and has accumulated intensive experience in synthesis and characterisation of functional nanomaterials with nanoclay involvement. All his projects are of industrial engagement, affording him a sight and sense of commercialisation potential. His recent researches focuses on preparation and characterisation of synthetic plate-like nanomaterials as sustainable and smart carrier for various agrochemicals.
Dr. Peng Li acquired his Bachelor degree from Wuhan University of Technology (Hubei, China) in 2002 and Master degree from Chalmers University of Technology (Gothenburg, Sweden) in 2005. After working in Tsinghua Science Park (Zhuhai) for 3 years, Peng was enrolled in Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, the University of Queensland and awarded Ph.D degree in 2013, and is currently a postdoctoral research fellow here. His research area is functional nanomaterials with industrial potential and his recent research focuses on synthetic nanoclay or clay-matrix nanocomposites for various agricultural applications, including sustainable fertilisers, insecticides, herbicides, etc.
