· Utilization of biomass including development of biomass-derived carbon as well as microwave-assisted biomass conversion. Two routes developed to prepare oxygenated mesoporous carbon for Ag catalysis, they exhibited excellent activity and stability compared with reported Ag catalysts in nitroaromatics reduction. · Develop microwave responsive catalysts to ultrafast synthesize 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) and 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA). · Other aspects involved in (I) Synthesis noble catalysts from biomass, (II) controllable growth of conducting polymer, (III) Microwave-assisted biomass conversion, (IV) development of next-generation rubber filler, and (V) molecular dynamics study on H2O polarization.

Focused on the development of industrial-grade TiO2 support for De-NOx, De-VOC catalysis. The structure and surface acidity were investigated to meet the requirement. · Investigated W/V/TiO2 as a catalyst in NH3-SCR De-NOx reaction;· Investigated and studied synergy effects between TiO2 support properties and performance of Au/TiO2;· Synthesized and functionalized Au/TiO2 (B) in CO oxidation and De-VOC reaction;· Studied stability of Au Nanoparticles supported on mesoporous TiO2; Initiated carbon-modified method to improve stability and activity of Au/TiO2.
