Lab
Molecular Catalysis & Reaction Engineering Laboratory (MCREL)



 

MCREL conducts research on full-cycle carbon/hydrogen utilization, including carbon capture and storage (CCUS) and renewable energy production and conversion, focusing on heterogeneous catalysts and reaction processes. To achieve this, MCREL draws on fundamental disciplines such as physics, chemistry, and biology, as well as applied disciplines such as chemical engineering, materials engineering, and mechanical engineering. Through novel material synthesis, reaction pathway exploration, and in situ and operando advanced analytical techniques, the goal is to ultimately understand the characteristics of thermochemical, electrochemical, photochemical, thermo-electrochemical, photo-thermochemical, and thermo-photo-electrochemical reactions.
