Welcome to the QUAN lab!

We are a young research group at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Our research focuses on the development of innovative, energy-efficient, and sustainable catalytic systems by rational design and combination of boron catalysis, reticular materials, photochemistry, and electrochemistry. Our research aims at the better understanding of and potential solutions to important chemical problems including but not limited to N₂ reduction, solar energy utilization, and green synthesis.
