Thanks for your reply.
More specifically, my research is to develope less expensive, more effecient catalysts for fuel cell, which is a promissing but expensive technology. The significance of my work is to make fuel cell more efficient and commerically availble.
My achievement:
1. developped a nove synthesis method to prepare less expensive (50% cheaper) and more active (2 time) catalyst.
this paper have been cited 12 time in 2 years
2. discovered the structure-performance relationship, which is important for catalyst design.
this paper pubished last year, 3 citations
3. reduce the amount of catalyst required for fuel cell by 8 time (cost saving)
published this year, no citation yet.
4. a new active materials for fuel cell using methanol as fuel.
this paper was cited 4 time.
total citation about 20, because most of my publication is in 2004-2005.
I can find tons of report about my field. The only confusing problem is they are not for my work. I guess it is not very common that sb's work was reported in the media unless he is a big shot.
what is your opion?
