Chief Scientist:
 Prof. Jinlong Yang Research Directions: The division is focusing on the development of characterization methodology and key instruments for the chemical energy materials. Specifically, on account of the basic physical and chemical processes on the surfaces and interfaces of the materials, we plan to develop the method and apparatus for the detection of surface active species with high energy, spatial and time resolutions, which would benefit for investigating the molecular adsorption on the surface at the atomic scale, examining the molecular reaction dynamics in the electronically and vibrationally excited states, understanding the molecular kinetics of multi-photon dissociation processes, as well as developing high-performance characterization techniques to elucidate the active site structures for the specific catalysts.
Research area: (1) Constructing infrared free-electron laser (IRFEL) system for the large-scale energy and chemical equipments (2) Establishing new methodology for the optical detection at the solid/gas and solid/liquid interfaces (3) Setting-up optical dissociation and excitation end-stations for in-situ and on-line detection of key intermediates (4) Developing synchrotron radiation-based techniques for chemical energy research
