Professor and Group Leader State Key Laboratory of Catalysis Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics Ph.D. Fudan University 1987 Professor Bao's group is teamed up around Material synthesis, Structural characterization, Reaction and Dynamics, Modeling and Simulation, devoting to fundamental research on the surface chemistry and catalysis dynamics, with the emphasis on the development and employment of nanotechnologies and in-situ analytical techniques in the study of catalysts and catalytic processes in order to understand the nature of catalysis. The four subgroups are working together revolving at specific catalysis processes such as catalytic conversion of methane and other light alkanes, selective hydrogenation of CO to oxygenates and active removal of CO from hydrogen at low temperatures for PEM fuel cell applications. |

Can Li
Professor/Director State Key Laboratory of Catalysis Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics Ph.D. Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics 1989 Can Li is working on both fundamental and applied catalysis, and training the graduate students and post-docs to be the skilled experts in the catalysis and related fields. He tries to understand catalysis at the atomic, molecular as well as the nanometer scale, to understand the reaction mechanism from the study on adsorption, desorption, surface intermediates and time-resolved dynamics of the reactions; and to reveal the essential relationship between catalytic performance and the catalyst structure and composition, by using physico-chemical techniques, particularly in-situ vibrational and optical spectroscopies. Based on the understanding of the fundamental principles of catalysis, Can Li is applying them in the designing and developing of more selective and active catalysts for practical applications in environmental protection, energy conversion, fine chemicals production and preparation of materials. |

Donghui Zhang
Professor State Key Laboratory of Molecular Reaction Dynamics Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics Ph. D. New York University, USA 1994 Prof. Zhang’s research is aimed to develop efficient theoretical and computational methodologies to study quantum molecular dynamics in various systems. For small (3 or 4 atom) molecular systems, we pursue exact quantum mechanical scattering calculations to obtain all interesting information for chemical reactions, from the most detailed state-to-state reactive scattering cross sections to thermal rate constants. For chemical reactions involving more than four atoms, we are interested in developing reduced dimensionality models to achieve the most accurate dynamical results under current computer technology. To treat more complex molecular systems, Prof. Zhang’s group is pursuing use of the continuous-configuration time dependent self-consistent field (CC-TDSCF) method in combination with the transition state wave packet method. We are also interested in constructing highly accurate potential energy surfaces in order to apply the accurate dynamics method we developed to some specific systems of chemical interesting. |

Jie Fan Professor of Chemistry Key Lab of Applied Chemistry of Zhejiang Province Zhejiang University, Hangzhou China Ph.D. Fudan University, Shanghai, China (2004) The research projects in our group share the common mission of bringing the experience and strategies of material chemistry, photo-chemistry, bio-chemistry and interface chemistry to bear on contemporary problems in catalytic reactions that are in need of new experimental approaches. Selective C-H activation is a major focus area, with recent projects oriented toward the low-temperature, high-yielding alcohol-to-aldehyde transformation using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. In parallel, we are seeking new method to solve sintering problem of metal nanoparticles at elevated reaction temperature, which is one of biggest challenges to their long-term activities. Finally, we are developing new methodologies for the discovery of new catalysts using ink-jet printing technology and wavelet analysis. |
