Research overview

Li's research group is interested in advanced catalyst development and catalysis fundamental understanding with an emphasis on nanomaterial and sustainable catalysis.

​

Currently, major research efforts are being placed in the following areas:

  • Development of novel nanostructured materials for catalyst applications & beyond

  • Implementation of highly functionalised catalysts for turning CO2 into sustainable fuel

  • Reversible H2 storage and conversion based on liquid hydrogen carriers

  • The atomic-level structural investigation by synchrotron X-ray (ie. X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy) with other advanced characterisation techniques (ie. in-situ/operando spectroscopy).
