Welcome to Yu Lab
Electrochemistry and Materials Science Group
Our mission is to advance the understanding and control of chemical processes pertinent to energy conversion and storage within low-dimensional materials, ranging from layered van der Waals (vdW) semiconductors to organic micro/nanoparticles. Through the cutting-edge nanoscale electrochemical techniques, our research delves deep into structure–activity relationships, uncovering fundamental insights into the factors that govern interfacial reactivity.
