We focus on comprehending and regulating the mechanisms and kinetics that govern chemical processes taking place at the surfaces or interfaces of catalysts. Our ongoing research theme revolves around sustainable chemistry and next-generation renewable energy technologies, specifically leveraging energy-matter interactions at the nanoscale. We are particularly enthusiastic about reactions involving small molecules such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, water, methane, carbon dioxide, and ammonia.
