In 1986, he was the first returned student of the batch of doctoral students. After returning to China, he pioneered the pioneering research on atomic cluster science in China. He disclosed the formation process and mechanism of carbon clusters such as the macroscopic synthesis, separation and structural characterization of novel atomic clusters, the chemical assembly of cluster materials and their Related nanomaterials synthesis and application of research, made a series of important progress. In November 2001, 47-year-old Zheng Lansun was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
