The Professor Xiao-Dong Zhou Research Group is a multidisciplinary research group whose focus is in sustainable energy. This group is led by Dr. Xiao-Dong Zhou, the director for the Center for Clean Energy Engineering at the University of Connecticut.
Our group hopes to catalyze the widespread adoption of clean energy sources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote environmental stewardship by focusing on the development of advanced materials, efficient processes, and innovative solutions. Through this research and initiative, our research group wishes to be a research hub for clean and sustainable energy and share this research with like-minded researchers nationally and internationally.
Lastly, our research interests are in theoretical and experimental understanding of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and electrochemistry in fuel cells, electrolyzers, and batteries. By using Dr. Zhou's expertise, we want to examine how small molecules—such as oxygen, water, carbon dioxide and methane—can be used to create value-added commodities. As a result, we hope to contribute to the economy and build a better and more sustainable world.
