Research direction：

His research interests focus on CVD diamond film, single crystal and related functional applications. Li Chengming has engaged in diamond material research for more than 30 years as the director of Laboratory, developed the DC arc-jet plasma technology for large-size, crack-free, super-thick diamond plate deposition as well as microwave plasma technical equipment. His group firstly reported the electronic study of polycrystal & single crystal diamond in China. And, their researches of the thermal application of diamond film are at the advanced level all around the world, which also promoted the industrial application of CVD free-standing diamond films. He has directed or was involved in more than 60 main projects, including the National Science and Technology Major Project (sub-project), National Key R&D Program of China, International Intergovernmental Cooperation Project (EU Horizon 2020), National “863” project, National Natural Science Foundation of China and National Defence Project, etc. Moreover, he has taken part in the setting of two National Standards and examined over 20 Standards. More than 20 international academic conferences have invited him to make presentation, at the same time, he has joined the Editorial Board or acted as Editor-in-Chief of special topic in several international journals. To date, he has authored over 300 peer-reviewed carbon related publications and 60 authorized patents. He has been recipient of various awards and recognitions that include: Technical Invention of Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and Provincial Awards on Technology Advancement.
