I am leading a research group focused on the atomic-level design and fabrication of advanced photocatalysts towards various pivotal reactions (e.g., reforming plastics, reforming biomass, light alkane activation and CO2 conversion) using renewable solar energy. Both state-of-art in-situ/ex-situ characterizations and density functional theory based calculations are adopted to reveal the atomic-level structure-performance relationship in photocatalysts as well as the in-depth and delicate photocatalysis mechanism. All these findings are concluded to develop the emerging high-performance photocatalysts. Our research group has also been creating the industrial-based Reactor system for Realistic application on photocatalytic and/or photothermal technology driven by renewable solar energy.
