Our research focuses on the selective transformation of small molecules such as CO, CO2, and CH4 into liquid fuels and value-added chemicals. It is of significant importance to achieve and illuminate the activation of stable chemical bonds between C, H, and O atoms over metal-based heterogeneous catalysts. Complexities and challenges stem from the inherent multi-component aspects of heterogeneous catalysis such as diversified active sites and vague mechanisms. To this end, we are devoted to tackling these issues from material and mechanistic points of views at the atomic level. Atomic-level design of active sites Atomic-level understanding of catalytic mechanisms
