The Liu research group at Utah State University focuses on electrochemical energy storage, electrocatalysis, and homogenous catalysis employing earth abundant element based catalysts and materials. We strive to achieve sustainable, economic, and environment-benign energy and chemical transformations and simultaneously address global energy and environment challenges. Our multidisciplinary research embraces inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering. Our integrated research/education program offers students rich opportunities to develop research skills and enlighten their scientific visions.
