Research capabilities

Electrocatalysis

Electrocatalysis uses electric current to drive electrochemical reactions on electrodes. A catalyst helps electron transfer between reactants and electrodes, boosting desired reactions.

Photo-electrocatalysis

Using photovoltaic technology, we refine semiconductor interfaces, regulate catalytic sites, and optimise photoelectrochemical systems. This enables us to grasp reaction mechanisms and showcase innovative photoelectrochemical systems.
