Biography

Oxidation based catalytic technologies are among these key technologies applied in petrochemicals, power sources, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and environmental protections. Particularly, exploring novel catalytic technologies for both utilizing renewable resources and eliminating pollutants has been attracting much more attentions than ever. However, in the fundamental research of redox chemistry, the great challenges still exist in understanding the oxidative relationships of the key active intermediates including metal oxo (Mn+=O), hydroxo (Mn+-OH) and hydroperoxide (Mn+-OOH) occurring in oxidation processes, and in clarifying how the co-catalysts modulate the reactivity of the redox catalysts; these unveiled puzzles substantially retards the designing of catalysts and elucidating of those elusive oxidation phenomena. Our lab currently focuses on addressing these fundamental issues in oxidations, meanwhile developing novel catalytic technologies for biomass valorization, pollutant treatments, and industrial applications
