Research Theme: Intelligent-integrated Catalytic Systems (ICS)
Our research focuses on developing intelligent, integrated catalytic systems based on catalyst and reactor design. This interdisciplinary research theme brings together chemistry, biology, fluid dynamics and artificial intelligence to overcome the limitations of conventional catalytic systems.
1. Developing methodologies that combine wet-chemical methods with micro/nanofabrication techniques to precisely control the surface and interface structures of multicomponent nanocatalysts. This enables multifield coupling-driven catalysis with highly efficient energy conversion.
2. Developing strategies that leverage coordination chemical bonding to modulate the hybrid interface between inorganic nanostructures, coordination structures, and biological units. This creates artificial photosynthetic cells that can synthesize complex products using intermittent energy input.
3. Developing high-throughput paradigms that utilize machine learning and robotics to screen the structures of reactor channels and integrated hierarchical nanostructures for multiphasic flow control. This invents hierarchical relay flow reactors for highly efficient, continuous chemical production.
