The research team of Professor Qiao Jinli from College of Environmental Science and Engineeringmade important advances in the field of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. The relevant result was published on Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, under the title of“Separated Growth of Bi-Cu Bimetallic Electrocatalysts on Defective Copper Foam for Highly Converting CO2 to Formate with Alkaline Anion-exchange Membrane beyond KHCO3 Electrolyte”. The PhD student Peng Luweifrom College of Environmental Science and Engineering is the first author.
