研究领域
Our research is devoted towards innovative, energy-efficient, and sustainable catalytic systems by rational design and combination of boron catalysis, reticular materials, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. Our initial research efforts will focus on the following aspects:
1. Boron-based molecular catalyst and photosensitizer
2. Reticular materials (MOF&COF) featuring boron active center
3. Electroreductive small molecular activation
4. Photoinduced chemical transformations
