Investigating the structure of catalytic active sites and their evolution under catalytic conditions is crucial for comprehending and enhancing catalysts' reactivity and stability. Utilizing advanced techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), and in situ gas cell experimentation, our team delves into essential structural aspects including electronic bonding, chemical valence, dynamic evolution, and charge distribution.

Our research endeavors extend to pioneering sustainable applications of the catalysts we synthesize. We explore sustainable applications of our catalysts in diverse processes such as water and seawater splitting, facilitating the production of clean hydrogen fuel, as well as in catalyzing the oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) and the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2), contributing to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. Through continuous innovation and collaboration, we strive to realize the full potential of our synthesized catalysts in revolutionizing the landscape of energy conversion, towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
