The concept of mimicking natural processes in order to learn the principles of underlying mechanisms and then applying those concepts to tackle complicated human problems is unquestionably necessary. So, as bio-inorganic chemists, our goal is to develop synthetic replicas of naturally occurring metalloenzymes. Utilizing state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques, likeUV/Vis, resonance Raman, EPR, NMR, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and mass spectrometric (ESI-MS, GC-MS) analyses, we achieve detailed mechanistic understanding of metalloenzyme models. 

Clean hydrogen fuel can be produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen electrochemically. Hence, designing an efficient electrocatalyst for green hydrogen production and converting small molecules into value-added products is essential. We have expanded into electrochemical studies of heterogeneous catalysts such as metal oxides, sulfides, selenides, Prussian Blue analogues (PBAs), and layered double hydroxides (LDHs), enhancing our capabilities in advanced materials synthesis and characterization using FTIR, PXRD, XPS,  SEM, TEM and solid-state Raman spectroscopy.
