His current research interests focused on the direct catalytic conversion of syngas and has achieved the following main contributions to field: 1) proposed the design concept of metal oxide-zeolite (OXZEO) bifunctional catalyst, and broke the theoretical limit based on ASF model in the syngas to light olefins or gasoline processes via Fischer-Tropsch route; 2) revealed the C-C coupling control mechanism, and extending OXZEO as new platform for C1 chemistry; 3) revealed the trade-off mechanism of conversion-selectivity in syngas conversion, and broke the bottleneck by decoupling the target reaction with the secondary reactions; 4) participated in the kiloton-scale industrial pilot test of coal derived syngas to light olefins process.
