Xiaosheng FANG,Prof., E-mail: ldzhang@issp.ac.cn, Xiaosheng Fang was born in Anhui Province in 1979. He received his BSc in Physics from Anhui University in 2001, and subsequently completed his PhD thesis from Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2006 under the tutelage of Professor Lide Zhang. Currently, he is a JSPS postdoctoral fellow under the supervision of Professor Yoshio Bando in Nanoscale Materials Center of National Institute for Materials Science, Japan. His research interests are in the areas of the design, controlled synthesis, characterization, fundamental understanding and associated applications of onedimensional (1D) oxide and sulfide nanomaterials that will enable the rational control of material morphologies, sizes, compositions, microstructures, property and functionality. Recently, he has successfully synthesized some 1D oxide and sulfide nanomaterials and nanostructures, including nanorods, nanowires, nanobelts, nanosheets, nanoflowers and nanotubes, in a controlled and simple way by altering corresponding experimental parameters. Growth kinetics and thermodynamics of these 1D nanomaterials and nanostructures based on the controllable synthesis have been studied in detail. Some novel properties are associated with nanometer-sized dimensions, such as optical, optoelectronic, dielectric and thermal properties etc., have been found. Up to now, he has authored and co-authored two scientific references and textbooks and over 30 peer-reviewed SCI papers, including some well-known journals, such as Adv. Mater., Adv. Funct. Mater., Small., Appl. Phys. Lett., and so on. Five review papers have been published or accepted. Moreover, the first-author papers have been cited over 150 times soon by other works, including some recent review papers on Chem. Comm. and J. Mater. Chem. He edited and co-edited three chapters (about 250 thousand words) in the scientific monograph "Nanomaterials and Nanostructures" published by Chemistry & Industry Publishing Co. (Beij
