​My research focuses on two major issues related to sustainable energy conversion: (1) development of novel solar energy conversion systems including photocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic water splitting; (2) development of efficient and scalable electrochemical CO2 reduction for economically viable CO2 utilization.
