Research
1. Visible-light-driven photoelectrochemistry, including water oxidation, organic transformations and their proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) mechanisms by using semiconductor and plasmonic photocatalysts.
2. Operando photoelectrochemical spectroscopy, including Photoelectrochemical Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (PEC-FTIR), Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) and so on.
3. Artificial photosynthesis by combing photoanodes (water oxidation, organic transformations) with photocathodes (HER, CO2RR and NRR).
