个人简介

Lecturer in Inorganic Chemistry, Newcastle University (09.2019 – 06.2024) PhD in Organic Chemistry (01.2012). Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences BEng in Materials Science and Engineering (06.2006). Tianjin Polytechnic University, China.

研究领域

r Erli Lu is an expert in synthetic inorganic, organometallic and coordination chemistry, as well as mechanochemistry. His group’s research at Birmingham focuses on: (1) Developing new chemistry of Group-1 alkali metal (especially Li, Na, K) to activate inert small molecules and chemical bonds (such as N2, H2, CO, C-H bond). The new chemistry will allow the community to phase out hazardous, costly and unsustainable precious metal catalysts and organic reagents. (2) Developing solvent-free synthetic methods, directly using mechanical forces to promote chemical reactions (mechanochemistry). By phasing out one of the biggest carbon footprint contributors, solvent, this effort will lead chemical industry into a sustainable future.
