Research Interests
Applied Chemistry and industrial catalysis — design, synthesis and performance of heterogenous catalysts synthesis; inorganic nanomaterials.
Based on the lattice localization effect of layered precursors, the Li group has proposed to solve the problems of the preferential orientation of catalytic active sites, the dispersion structure and the dispersion stability, based on the confinement effect of two-dimensional plates and the surface net-trap structure of layered materials. Various synthesis methods for series of highly dispersed catalytic materials, such as intercalation-assembly and in situ growth of active phases, are successfully established.
The particle size and uniform dispersion structure of layered catalytic materials are effectively controlled. Based on the mechanism of forced micro-mixing effect in micro-liquid-film reactor, the nucleation and crystallization are induced with the help of small molecules (e.g., hydrogen). The method breaks through the difficulty of preparing homogeneous composite metal oxides by the traditional coprecipitation method and has the advantages of narrow size distribution and homogeneous structure/composition, and provides a methodological basis for preparing high-performance oxide-based catalytic materials.
