Haotian Wang
About
Haotian Wang’s research is focused on developing cutting-edge technologies to use unwanted carbon dioxide and solar electricity to create valuable chemicals or fuels, via a green, sustainable, and economical process called CO2 reduction.
Recently his group successfully discovered a revolutionary single-atom catalyst with high activity and selectivity towards CO2 reduction that compares to existing noble metal catalysts. This technology opens opportunities to mitigate climate change while making useful chemical products.
