| Short Description of the Research Theme |
This research theme involves the synthesis and characterization of new inorganic materials such as metal-organic frameworks, zeolites, and other porous materials, and the investigation of their catalytic properties in various chemical reactions such as hydrogenation, oxidation, and carbon dioxide conversion. The group also focuses on the development of new electrocatalysts for energy conversion processes such as fuel cells and electrolysis, and investigates the structure-property relationships that govern their performance. |
