"Sustainability in Action!"
The Liu research group focuses on electrochemical energy storage, electrocatalysis, and homogenous catalysis employing earth abundant element based catalysts and materials. We strive to achieve sustainable, economical, and environment-benign energy and chemical transformations and to address the global energy and environment challenges simultaneously. Our research is highly multidisciplinary embracing inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, materials science, and electrochemical engineering.
