研究领域

As a nanobioinorganic chemist, Mahdi believes that with learning strategies from natural photosynthesis, design of modern catalysts for all reactions using only earth abundant, low cost and environmentally friendly metal ions is possible. Mahdi and his research group explore transition-metal compounds as water-oxidizing catalysts for artificial photosynthesis.
