Xun Zhan studies materials for energy conversion, focusing on electrocatalysts that drive chemical reactions using electricity, such as splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen or converting nitrate into ammonia. The work combines synthesis of novel materials (including metal-organic frameworks, single-atom catalysts, and thin films) with detailed characterization of their crystal structure and electrochemical behavior. Additional projects extend to thin-film electronic and optical materials.
