Nominator's project description
| Professor Huang is one of the outstanding figures in the field of catalysis. He promoted the concept of nanocrystal model catalysis. Using model catalysts from traditional single crystals to novel nanocrystals, he has studied the surface chemistry of important heterogeneous catalytic systems, where he successfully correlated the structure of catalysts with their performance, and provided a new level of understanding. During his research stay in Germany, he will investigate thermo-catalytical and photo-catalytical reactions at interfaces. |
