Research Topics（no more than 100 words）研究方向

Energy: Develop technologies capable of utilizing CO₂, water and renewable energy more effectively than nature.

(1) Carbon dioxide: Catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide by chemical, thermochemical, electrochemical, and photoelectrochemical technologies;

2. Hydrogen: Hydrogen production by water splitting through electrolysis and the hydrolysis of aluminum-based alloys;

Water: Develop technologies for treatment, remediation and purification of wastewater, contaminated surface and groundwater by microbial, chemical/electrochemical and membrane technologies; Develop small-scale, integrated treatment systems for remote, decentral household sewage;

Soil: Green and sustainable remediation for water and soil contaminated by heavy metals, antibiotics, chlorinated organic compounds, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
