Research Topic: Methanol synthesis via hydrogenation of CO2
Research Description: My research topic is to develop an effective catalytic system for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. To achieve this goal, I’ll try to understand the primary active site for the methanol synthesis as well as the reaction mechanism thereof by using characterization tools such as XPS, NEXAFS, UV-vis, H2-TPR, EPR, FTIR and so on.
Other fun facts or hobbies: Watching movie and playing badminton.
