Peng did his doctoral research at Photophysics Group, University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, under the supervision of Prof Yu Chen and Prof David J.S. Birch. Supported by the RSC Research Mobility Fellowship, in Spring of 2015, he moved to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to carry out the study on plasmon controlled fluorescence under the supervision of Prof Catherine J. Murphy. His previous working experience includes Yangzhou University and  Fudan University. His major research is about photo and/or electrochemical reactions and the physics behind, with potential applications in optical sensing,  wearable clean energy devices and electrochemical catalysis. Since December 2018, he has joined Department of Light Chemical Engineering, Jiangnan University as an associate professor. He is a member of Royal Society of Chemistry，China Textile Engineering Society and Chinese Chemical Society, and servers as a peer reviewer of several scientific journals － Advanced Functional Materials, Applied Energy, Journal of Power Sources, Journal of Physics series, Journal of Optics and Nanotechnology.  Besides research, he took over the president position of Chinese students and scholars association (CSSA)at Strathclyde University in 2012 (ended Sep. 2014), and was appointed to the standing committee member of CSSA-UK in 2013 (serves from Sep. 2013 to May 2015).
