Dr Xiaoguang Duan
Dr. Duan has been dedicated to seeking feasible applications of nanomaterials in environmental remediation and facilitating mechanistic insights into carbocatalysis with advanced protocols
His research areas include:
- Heterogeneous and green catalysis
- Environmental remediation and advanced oxidation
- Development of functional materials and nanotechnology
- Solar-energy utilization
- Theoretical calculation
Dr Yan Jiao
Dr Jiao's research aims to design catalyst materials for the production and utilisation of clean fuels that do not pollute our planet; these fuels include
- hydrogen
- hydrocarbon
- green ammonia
Using hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen as energy carriers, correspondingly, these fuels could be generated from renewable sources (such as wind or solar).
