My research focuses on surface chemistry and nanomaterials chemistry, particularly the preparation, characterization, and applications of nanomaterials, as well as the surface adsorption, desorption, and reaction mechanisms of catalysts, catalytic principles, and the design of new catalysts.

Our primary research targets include the preparation and application of carbon-based nanomaterials and the reaction behavior of carbon-oxygen bonds. This includes studies on the methanation of CO2, methanol synthesis from CO, alkylation and alcoholization of ketones, reactions involving CO groups on carbon surfaces, the preparation of carbon nanotubes on carbon surfaces, and their application in fuel cells.
