Professor Xinhe Bao’s research focuses mainly on the fundamental understanding of catalysis, and its application to the development of new catalysts and catalytic processes related to energy conversion, in particular clean coal and natural gas utilization. His achievements in catalysis of nanoporous materials, nano-structured carbon materials and nano-sized oxide particles, as well as in the fundamental researches of understanding the nano-confined catalysis have been well recognized in the community worldwide. Bao has published more than 500 scientific papers and 1 book (Elsevier) with a citation over 11000 times, and filed 80 patents. He was awarded the prizes of National Science Award (second Class, 2005) and HLHL Prize (Hong Kong, 2012).
Research activity focuses mainly on the surface chemistry and energy-related catalysis, including:
1. Surface chemistry and model Catalysis
2. Catalysis of nano-confined systems, e.g. nano particles and porous materials
3. Activation and conversion of methane
4. Selective oxidation of hydrocarbons
5. Conversion of coal-based syngas (CO/H2)
6. Catalytically selective oxidation of CO 7. Fuel cell related catalysis
