A definition of sustainability science has been formulated as “an emerging field of research dealing with interactions between natural and social systems, and with how those interactions affect the challenge of sustainability: meeting the needs of the present and future generations while substantially reducing poverty and conserving the planet's life support systems”
Our research focuses on the design and synthesis of various nanoscale catalsts to achieve sustainability. By using state-of-the-art characterization tools, we are trying to understand the formation mechanism and physiochemical properties of nanostructures, from which we can design and fabricate novel functional materials for various demanding applications. Specifically, our research topics include:
# Precise synthesis of nanostructures for solar energy harvesting;
# Chemical recycling of plastics through thermal-, photothermal-, photo-catalysis;
# Solar-driven water evaporation for sustainable water withdrawal.
