Zhenhua Zeng's research focuses on understanding, at the atomic level, how electrocatalysts work for energy conversion technologies such as fuel cells, water electrolyzers, and batteries. Using computational modeling (density functional theory and molecular dynamics) alongside experimental collaborations, the work aims to identify the active sites and reaction mechanisms on materials like platinum, nickel, and iridium-based catalysts that drive reactions such as oxygen reduction and oxygen/chlorine evolution. The goal is to guide the design of more efficient and durable catalysts for clean energy devices.
Publication output has been variable but generally increasing over the past decade, rising notably in 2023 and 2024 before tapering slightly in 2025-2026.
