Prof. Huabin Zhang has been invited to serve as a guest editor for a themed collection on nanocatalysis in Materials Horizons, a leading journal in materials science. The collection highlights recent advances in nanostructured catalysts for energy and chemical technologies.

The editorial introducing the collection is available here: https://doi.org/10.1039/D6MH90024K

Our research group contributed to the Hydrogen Economy module within the Energy Specialization Program delivered under the KAUST Academy. The program, held at KFUPM and presented by Abdulrahman Allangawi on behalf of the group, targeted senior and freshly graduated undergraduate students, equipping young Saudi talents with foundational knowledge and forward-looking perspectives on hydrogen technologies and the energy transition. This activity reflects our group’s sustained commitment to empowering youth, building national scientific capacity, and supporting Saudi Arabia’s clean-energy ambitions, in collaboration with CREST, KAUST, and K.A.CARE.

We are thrilled to share that Prof. Huabin Zhang has been recognized as one of the world’s top 1% most influential scientists in Clarivate’s 2025 Highly Cited Researchers list. This honor highlights his outstanding contributions and impactful research in catalysis and materials science. Congratulations, Prof. Zhang, on this remarkable achievement!
