"My research philosophy is centered on the principle of 'Design by Necessity.' I believe that the transition to a hydrogen economy requires more than just incremental improvements; it demands a fundamental shift in how we architect materials at the atomic level.
In the Panda Lab, we move beyond trial-and-error synthesis. By combining nature-inspired 3D frameworks (such as diatom-derived structures) with the precision of Single-Atom Catalysis (SAC), we aim to bridge the gap between theoretical electrochemistry and industrial scalability. My goal as a mentor and researcher is to develop materials that are not only high-performing but are also earth-abundant and sustainable, ensuring that the green energy revolution is accessible to all."
I. Electrocatalysis & Green Hydrogen
We design high-efficiency catalysts for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) and Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR). By utilizing diatom-derived 3D frames and millerite nanoparticles, we aim to lower the overpotential required for water splitting, making green hydrogen a more viable energy carrier.
II. Nanoarchitectonics & Single-Atom Catalysts (SACs)
Our lab specializes in the precision engineering of Single-Atom Catalysts. By anchoring individual metal atoms onto porous supports (like graphene-based nanocomposites), we maximize atomic utilization and catalytic selectivity, bridging the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.
III. Advanced Materials for Energy Storage & Sensing
Beyond catalysis, we explore the synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles and hierarchically structured materials for the next generation of energy storage devices and environmental sensors. Our work focuses on improving the stability and electron-transfer kinetics of these materials for real-world applications.
