Seek highly efficient Electrode Materials for CO2, H2O and CO2/H2O co-electrolysis; Understanding how the oxide materials electrocatalytically incorporate with CO2 and H2O towards improving CO2 conversion efficiency.
Designing functional oxides through advanced synthesis techniques such as pulsed laser deposition (PLD), infiltration and exsolution to enhance electrochemical performance of solid oxide cells.
High-temperature fuel cell and electrolysis testing system equipped with a number of electrochemical analysis instruments (e.g. EIS) for SOFC and SOEC test.
Highly surface sensitive low-energy ion scattering (LEIS) analysis to probe the very outer atomic surface where the reaction takes place in order to explore surface segregation and reconstruction, and determine the key elemental composition for the reaction; X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis to understand material chemical state; in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) analysis to explore the evolution of the surface intermediates formed on materials after annealing treatments with various gas compositions (e.g. CO2, H2 and O2).
