Yanqiang Huang was born in Jinan, Shandong Province, China, in 1980. He received his B.S. degree from Dalian University of Technology in 2002 and obtained his Ph.D. degree in Industrial Catalysis from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP), Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2008. After graduation, he remained at DICP and has worked there ever since. He also carried out short-term research visits at the University of Cádiz, Spain, and Columbia University, USA.

He has published more than 100 papers in leading international journals, including Nature Energy, Journal of the American Chemical Society, and Angewandte Chemie. He has also been invited to write review articles for prestigious journals such as Chemical Society Reviews and Accounts of Chemical Research. In addition, he has applied for more than 50 invention patents, 20 of which have been granted. In 2019, he was awarded the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars.

He currently serves as Associate Editor of the Journal of Energy Chemistry and as a Young Editorial Board Member of journals including Chinese Journal of Catalysis. He has been selected for several talent programs and honors, including the Youth Innovation Promotion Association of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the “Hundred, Thousand and Ten Thousand Talents Project” of Liaoning Province (Ten-Thousand Talents Level), and the Xingliao Talent Program. He is currently leading and participating in multiple research projects supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and other ministries and agencies.
