WELCOME TO DUAN GROUP



We are interested in the development of novel electrocatalytic and photoelectrocatalytic reactions, with emphasis on biomass conversion, plastic upcycling, and organic synthesis.

Warmest congratulations to Prof. Haohong Duan for winning National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars!
