Research Interests

Our primary interests are focused on photochemical conversion, including

1. Artificial photosynthesis for hydrogen and oxygen evolution as well as carbon dioxide reduction;
2. Visible light catalysis for efficient organic transformation, particularly for activation of inert chemical bonds using photochemical strategies;
3. Photoinduced electron transfer, energy transfer and chemical reactions in supramolecular systems.
