Our modern society is faced with challenges in energy, environment, and resources. The chemical industry for hydrogen production, for example, is highly energy intensive and also causes serious environmental issues. There is an urgent need of technological transformations in the chemical industries for building a sustainable future. At ShanghaiTech, our group are working on non-conventional electrochemical materials and processes to enable energy, environmental and electronic technologies. Our current projects include:

1. Catalytic synthesis of fuels: designing, preparing and characterizing catalysts and reactors for producing gas fuels.  

2. Critical metals extraction and recycling: developing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly electrochemical processes for materials extraction and recycling. 

3. Complex oxides for energy and electronic applications: materials synthesis, control and characterization of electronic and ionic properties, and nanofabrication of field-effect devices. 

We are looking for postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students who are highly self-motivated to carry out high-quality experimental work. Please contact me through email if you are interested.
