research theme
electrochemical synthesis of CO2-free chemicals from renewable feedstocks and energies
design and development of electrocatalysts, reaction environment, and new electrochemical reactions for the electrochemical synthesis of value-added organic compounds such as biomass-derived plastics and fuels.
- selective oxidation and hydrogenation of biomass-derived chemicals
- synthesis of redox mediators for selective electrochemical conversion
- paired electrolysis of biomass alcohols and CO2 for co-production
theory combined in-situ/operando observation of electrocatalyst/reactant/electrolyte interface to understand fundamentals of electrochemical organic synthesis reaction.
- ATR-IR analysis for molecular conversions
- XAS analysis for monitoring metal ion transitions
- ESR analysis for radical formations
design and fabrication of a large-scale electrochemical reactor for the mass production of organic compounds
- multi-stack flow-cell for biomass alcohol conversions
- flow-path optimizations
- reactor/membrane/electrode modifications for the gas/liquid co-productions
