Small molecules activation

1. Water oxidation, carbon dioxide reduction and nitrogen reduction 

2. 2D-functional materials

（1）Water oxidation catalysis
We develope molecular transition metal complexes for electro- and chemical-water oxidation, uncover their catalytic mechanisms and  investigate the structure-function relationship.

（2）carbon dioxide
Design Re, Ru, Fe and Mn-based carbon dioxide reduction catalysts and introduce second coordination sphere. Investigate their reaction kinetics by Stopped-flow IR and characterize reaction intermediates by in-situ IR Spectroelectrochemistry. 

（3）New graphyne/graphdiyne 2D materials for energy conversion

We are aiming at a sustainable society!
