Research Interests
Heterogeneous catalysis, carbon dioxide conversion, multifunctional catalyst, ferrite material
Catalytic conversion of CO2 into high-value chemicals and fuels. CO2 conversion provides a new strategy for achieving the goal of "Carbon Neutrality". It can not only realize the resource utilization of CO2, but also facilitate the storage and transportation of renewable energy. His research interests focus on the direct synthesis of high-value products such as α-olefins/aromatics/gasoline/alcohols by designing high-efficient catalysts with synergistic multi-active sites. Specifically, he studies the structure-performance relationship of iron-based catalysts and the regulation strategy of zeolite pore structure and acidity in order to achieve high-yield synthesis of target products. He is also working on developing industrial demonstration technologies for hydrogenation of CO2 to gasoline, participated as a major contributor in completing the trial operation of world’s first pilot project producing 1,000 tons/year gasoline from CO2 hydrogenation.
