Research Overview
Expertise: Specialized in the rational synthesis of catalysts through different methodologies, including the preparation of metal particle catalysts that range from single atoms to clusters, from 1-2 nm to larger than 2 nm particles. This also involves various structural types such as core-shell, alloy, and dilute limit alloy configurations. The prepared catalysts are then characterized using a wide array of equipment and evaluated via fixed bed or batch reactors.
Interests: Renewable energy, liquid hydrogen storage, electrochemical energy storage, sustainable chemical production, plastic upcycling, etc.
