Artificial Photosynthesis Group

A Focus on Sustainable Future and Green Energy (Annual Report 2024)

Sustainable Future and Green Energy

The following major AREAs we explore.

  • CO2 reduction and Hydrogenation
  • NH3 Oxidation to Green Hydrogen.
  • HCOOH Dehydrogenation.
  • Proton reduction and Water Oxidation.
  • Electrochemical Transformations of Organic Compounds.

The Group explore the synthesis of Novel ligands and their transition metal complexes. The complexes are employed to explore the catalytic activities in the above areas.
