Background

The Clarivate Analytics ranking lists scientists who have been involved in several of the most cited one percent of publications in their field, categorized by publication year, in the last decade. The evaluation is based on the “Web of Science Core Collection” database, which contains scientific articles from around 21,000 journals. For this year’s list of “Highly Cited Researchers,” the decade 2011 to 2021 was analyzed. In total, around 179,000 publications were amongst the one percent most cited per subject, per year.

Quick information on the cfaed members of the list:

Renhao Dong

Dr.  Dong is a TUD Young Investigator and leads an independent research group at the Chair of Molecular Functional Materials at the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry and the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed). His current scientific interests mainly include organic 2D materials, the development of interface-assisted synthesis methods, design and synthesis of topological π-conjugated molecules, conjugated 2D polymers (2D polymers/COFs), MOFtronics (conductive 2D MOFs or optoelectronics, magnetics, electrocatalysis, energy storage sensing), novel van der Waals and lateral heterostructures, as well as exotic physical and chemical properties.
