Question: Will designing hybrid electrochemical interfaces with synergistic nanomaterials and surface-confined cocatalysts bypass the intensive agricultural toxin-to-fertilizer process?

Direction: The ET lab will develop morphologically privileged layered double hydroxides (LDH), structurally precise metal-organic frameworks (MOF), and first-row transition metal complexes with tailorable ligand architectures to lower the overpotential, boost the turnover frequency (TOF), and tune the product selectivity (faradaic efficiency, FE) by altering the binding interactions between key adducts and active sites.

Strategy: One-step electroreductive valorization
1.Room temperature and ambient pressure
2.Green solvent (water)
3.On-site toxin removal
​4.On-demand fertilizer upcycling
