Innovations, and Extension Activities:

In my research and development journey, I’ve authored pivotal papers spanning from supercritical CO2 microemulsions to single-atom catalysis in high-impact journals. Pioneering the creation of graphene-supported ionic liquid catalysts, I achieved a remarkable 40.5% grafting rate with exceptional yields in batch reactors (90.4%). Notably, continuous catalysis success was demonstrated, achieving a 55.6% yield over 8 hours. My leadership in continuous biodiesel production and the coupling of extraction with transesterification under supercritical conditions has garnered widespread attention. Additionally, I’ve successfully invented novel catalyst preparation methods, reflected in multiple granted patents. By modulating the coordination environment of novel catalysts, I achieved selective hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes, making critical breakthroughs in chemical reaction kinetics and phase behavior in supercritical CO2. This body of research not only profoundly impacts academia but also provides valuable insights for practical industrial production and green energy development. My work showcases unwavering commitment to academic excellence and practical application, making substantial contributions to research, development, innovation, and extension activities.
