Research Interests

Dr. Zhang studies single-atom catalysts with particular configurations that enable sustainable energy conversion (i.e., photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and thermal catalysis). His research extends to the challenges and opportunities involved with “operando investigation,” or real-time monitoring of the structural evolution of reactive centers, as well as the mutual interactions between a reactive center and reactant within the catalytic process. Together with a team of KAUST researchers, Dr. Zhang spearheaded the development of high-efficiency, stable hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts for seawater splitting, which has promising applications for the production of clean hydrogen fuels.​
