We are conducting cutting-edge research in heterogeneous catalysis at the molecular level, aiming to gain fundamental insights and develop practical applications. Our current projects focus on the conversion and utilization of carbon dioxide (CO₂), the oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and the application of nanomaterials for catalytic and antibacterial purposes. Our research is multidisciplinary, concentrating on the design, synthesis, and application of high-performance catalysts. It encompasses surface and materials science, advanced characterization techniques, reaction kinetics, theoretical calculations, and effective process design.

Specifically, our research topics include:

• Exploring the fascinating world where Photocatalysis, Thermal Catalysis, and Photothermal Catalysis play and intersect;
• In situ characterization of catalysts and reaction intermediates.
• Exploring chemical reactions such as CO₂ conversion at the molecular level;
• Bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications, we explore catalysts for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and their use in antibacterial treatments, etc.
• Nanostructured materials for catalysis and environmental remediation
• Colloidal and interface chemistry

• Surface chemistry
