Our research in electrocatalysis for water splitting focuses on developing highly efficient and durable catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). We explore novel materials, including transition metal dichalcogenides, noble metal alloys, and single-atom catalysts, aiming to reduce the overpotential and enhance the kinetics of these crucial reactions. The goal is to achieve sustainable and cost-effective hydrogen production as a clean energy carrier.

We are actively involved in research on CO₂ reduction technologies, aiming to convert carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals and fuels. Our work involves designing and synthesizing advanced catalysts, such as copper-based nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), to selectively reduce CO₂ to products like carbon monoxide, methane, and methanol. This research contributes to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and establishing a carbon-neutral energy cycle.

Our group focuses on the design, synthesis, and characterization of various nanomaterials for diverse energy conversion applications. This includes developing nanocomposites, 2D materials, and quantum dots with tailored electronic and structural properties for enhanced performance in areas like photocatalysis, thermoelectricity, and fuel cells. We investigate the fundamental mechanisms governing energy conversion processes at the nanoscale to unlock new possibilities for advanced energy technologies.
