==Education== Yang received a B.S. in chemistry from the [[University of Science and Technology of China]] in 1993. For his graduate studies, he worked with [[Charles M. Lieber]] at [[Harvard University]], and in 1997, he was awarded a Ph.D. in chemistry. He was a post-doctoral fellow with [[Galen D. Stucky]] at [[University of California, Santa Barbara]] from 1997 to 1999, until being hired as an assistant professor in chemistry at UC Berkeley.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://en.ustc.edu.cn/info/1007/1665.htm|title=Alumnus YANG Peidong Elected Fellow of American Academy of Sciences}}</ref>

==Career== In the early 1990s, Yang, while still a graduate student in Charles Lieber's Lab at Harvard University, started to investigate flux line pinning in [[High-temperature superconductivity|high T<sub>c</sub> superconductors]] using nanowires as pinning centers. The approach was to introduce single-crystalline oxide nanowires into a high-T<sub>c</sub> superconductor, to make a composite to create stable nanoscopic linear tracks, and to increase the critical current density by "pinning" the flux lines. This oxide nanowire synthesis marked the start of both Lieber's group and global nanowire research.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.273.5283.1836|title=Nanorod-Superconductor Composites: A Pathway to Materials with High Critical Current Densities|date=1996 |doi=10.1126/science.273.5283.1836 |last1=Yang |first1=Peidong |last2=Lieber |first2=Charles M. |journal=Science |volume=273 |issue=5283 |pages=1836–1840 |bibcode=1996Sci...273.1836Y |url-access=subscription }}</ref>

Yang is known for his work in semiconductor nanowire and nanostructure synthesis and characterization, having co-authored over 400 peer-reviewed journal articles, including the paper titled "Room-Temperature Ultraviolet Nanowire Nanolasers," published in ''[[Science (journal)|Science]]'' in 2001, which has received over 11,000 citations.<ref name=nnn/> In 2010, he was ranked as the top materials scientist and among the top 10 chemists of the 2000-2010 decade by [[Thomson Reuters]], based on citation impact.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.madrimasd.org/blogs/quimicaysociedad/files/2011/08/Top-100-Chemists-2000-2010-ScienceWatch.com-Thomson-Reuters%E2%80%9D.pdf|title=Top 100 Chemists, 2000-2010}}</ref> Later, as one of the founders of the semiconductor nanowire research field, he was named a [[List of Clarivate Citation laureates in Physics|Clarivate Citation Laureate in Physics]] in 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.futureprize.org/en/people/87.html|title=Science Committee Member - Peidong YANG}}</ref>

In 2005, Yang introduced for the first time a surrounding gate sub-5nm nanowire field-effect transistor architecture with excellent subthreshold behavior and gate coupling and energy efficiency.<ref name=brr/> In the same year, his team demonstrated the first functional p-, n-, and ambipolar ionic [[nanofluidic circuitry]], where ion transport could be electrically gated like traditional [[field-effect transistor]]s for electrons, a work with implications for seawater [[desalination]] and salinity gradient energy harvesting.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.086607|title=Polarity Switching and Transient Responses in Single Nanotube Nanofluidic Transistors|date=2005 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.086607 |last1=Fan |first1=Rong |last2=Yue |first2=Min |last3=Karnik |first3=Rohit |last4=Majumdar |first4=Arun |last5=Yang |first5=Peidong |journal=Physical Review Letters |volume=95 |issue=8 |article-number=086607 |pmid=16196887 |bibcode=2005PhRvL..95h6607F }}</ref>

In the 1990s, [[Mildred Dresselhaus]] predicted that tailoring the diameters, compositions, and carrier concentrations of thin nanowires could enhance thermoelectric performance by impeding phonon transport through boundary scattering and phonon confinement.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.47.16631|title=Thermoelectric figure of merit of a one-dimensional conductor|date=1993 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevB.47.16631 |last1=Hicks |first1=L.

Yang and his colleague [[Arun Majumdar]] were the first to demonstrate experimentally that silicon nanowires exhibit size-dependent thermal conductivities, validating this early prediction.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nanowires.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/070.pdf|title=Thermal conductivity of individual silicon nanowires}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://nanowires.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/072.pdf|title=Thermal conductivity of SiÕSiGe superlattice nanowires}}</ref> He later discovered that [[silicon nanowire]]s with rough surfaces and 50 nm diameters exhibit a 100-fold reduction in [[thermal conductivity]], achieving ''zT''~0.6 at room temperature,<ref>{{cite journal|title=Enhanced thermoelectric performance of rough silicon nanowires|date=2008 |pmid=18185582 |last1=Hochbaum |first1=A.

In 2015, Yang and his team developed a synthetic biophotonic "leaf,"<ref name=lef/> a hybrid system of semiconducting nanowires and the bacteria ''[[Sporomusa ovata|S. Ovata]]'', where the nanowires captured sunlight and the bacteria facilitated the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into a targeted carbon-based chemical, such as butanol, through the photosynthetic process.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Nanowire-bacteria hybrids for unassisted solar carbon dioxide fixation to value-added chemicals|date=2015 |pmid=25848808 |last1=Liu |first1=C. |last2=Gallagher |first2=J.

As a co-leader of the JCAP, Yang contributed to the establishment of the JCAP energy hub and has led efforts to develop materials that use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into fuel.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/news/california-team-receive-122-million-energy-innovation-hub-develop-method-produce-fuels|title=California Team to Receive up to $122 Million for Energy Innovation Hub to Develop Method to Produce Fuels from Sunlight}}</ref>

Yang coined the term "Liquid Sunlight" to describe a new form of chemical energy stored in chemical bonds derived from solar energy,<ref>{{cite journal|title=Liquid sunlight|date=2016 |doi=10.1073/pnas.1604811113 |last1=Bourzac |first1=Katherine |journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences |volume=113 |issue=17 |pages=4545–4548 |doi-access=free |pmid=27118826 |pmc=4855565 }}</ref> a concept now used in national research initiatives in Europe and Asia, as well as the DOE energy hub, the Liquid Sunlight Alliance (LiSA).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://trademarks.justia.com/971/75/liquid-97175955.html|title=LIQUID SUNLIGHT - Trademark Details}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uctv.tv/shows/Liquid-Sunlight-Peidong-Yang-33080|title=Liquid Sunlight: Peidong Yang}}</ref>
