Research Interests

1）Production of Bio-based Chemicals and Bioenergy

        Using renewable agricultural and forestry waste resources (peanut shell, corncob and straw, etc) as raw materials, bio-based chemicals and bioenergy are produced from the above resources by green physicochemical pretreatment technology, biocatalysis and metabolic engineering technology.

2）Energy-Rich Compounds Production using Photosynthetic Carbon Fixation

        In view of the major strategic needs for carbon emission reduction, clean liquid fuel production, CO2 would be fixed and converted into biofuels or high value-added bio-based chemicals using photosynthetic microorganisms (Rhodopseudomonas Palustris) cells or enzyme resources, combining electrochemical and biological technology or biological carbon fixation technology.
