Established by Professor Ju Wenbo in 2021, we have developed a unique in-situ analysis method with multi physics field coupling around the construction, characterization, and application of functional material interfaces. This has promoted the fundamental principles and application technologies of interfaces, including artificial carbon cycling, energy storage and conversion, and electromagnetic compatibility. The team has solved the application challenges of non precious metal materials in the field of electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction (eCO2RR), continuously breaking through the performance limits of copper tin (Cu/Sn) alloys and bismuth (Bi) based catalysts, and opening up a new method for direct carbonate reduction (deCO3RR). We have developed unique in-situ spectroscopy and microscopy imaging techniques, demonstrating the powerful charm of physical methods in interdisciplinary fields. In the past 5 years, the team has published a total of 27 academic papers, and 2 of them have been selected as ESI highly cited papers. Applied for 7 national invention patents and undertaken 8 national, provincial, ministerial, and enterprise projects.
