Jian Liu

This publication record appears to combine work from multiple researchers sharing the name Jian Liu, spanning catalysis and energy materials (photocatalytic CO2 reduction, electrocatalytic water splitting and hydrogen/ammonia production, perovskite solar cells, laser crystals, polymers) as well as unrelated biology topics (plant genomics, lung cancer microbiome studies). The energy-related work centers on designing catalysts and material microenvironments—such as single atoms on strained metal oxides, metal-organic frameworks, and engineered hydrophobic surfaces—to improve efficiency and selectivity in reactions like CO2-to-fuel conversion, water splitting, and nitrate reduction. Prospective students should note the topic breadth likely reflects records from more than one same-named author being merged together.

Publication output grew from about 13 papers/year in 2017 to a peak of around 22/year in 2023-2024, holding a steady average of roughly 17 papers/year over the last five years.
