Project: Electrochemistry engineering of advanced systems for value-added chemicals synthesis and efficient energy storage

Kinetics of electrochemical reactions are generally governed by the rates of processes, for example, mass transfer and electron transfer at the electrode surface, largely deciding whether energy storage and conversion devices such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries can work in an efficient manner. My research project, therefore, will focus on design of electrochemical reactors and development of their highly compatible electrodes based on fundamental rules of electrochemistry engineering, in the hope that energy can be stored and converted more efficiently at a much lower cost in the foreseeable future.
