To address the depletion of fossil resources and global environmental challenges, the efficient utilization of solar energy is indispensable. Our research aims to develop advanced photocatalytic systems for fuel production and the removal of environmentally harmful compounds through the activation of stable molecules such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. We integrate rational catalyst design, photoreactor engineering, and spectroscopic elucidation of reaction mechanisms to construct highly efficient solar-driven molecular conversion systems grounded in fundamental understanding.
