Research Focus:
Materials Design and Surface Functionalization
Catalysis
Polymer-Electrolyte/Membrane Development
Engineering Nano-structures with ALD
Atomic Layer Deposition — Nano-materials — Surface Functionalization
Engineering interfaces at the nanometer scale allows for improved activity and stability. We design nano-structures using our in-house and improved Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process to tailor metal-support properties. We focus on materials such as perovskites, nitrides, mixed oxides, and sulfides, and aim to design diverse structural motifs including high-surface-area layered architectures, core–shell systems, and single-atom configurations.
Catalysis: Heat and Charge
Thermal and Electro-catalysis — Rates and Stability — Hydrogen/Ammonia and CO2
We aim to study the kinetic properties of catalytic systems, to understand the effects of electro/thermal activation of solid-state systems, and to improve catalytic performance for important industrial applications. Our current research explores hydrogen production through electrolysis , hydrogen transport via methanol decomposition and ammonia cracking, and catalytic conversion of CO2 into value-added products.
