Professor, Chemistry
Center membership :KAUST Catalysis Center
The research interests of Prof. Huang's group center on catalysis, including renewableenergy (water splitting), carbon dioxide utilization, hydrogen storage, kinetic and DFTstudies of transition metal and organocatalysis. Prof. Huang has co-founded two start-up companies, ULTIM and Lithium Infinity, to commercialize the pioneering researchtechnologies: using formic acid electricity as a net-zero hydrogen carrier to provide adisruptive energy storage and transport option to power a low-carbon energy future andselectively extracting lithium to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate from in-kingdomresources, respectively.
