Decoding Dynamic Functional Interfaces: From Atomic Structure to Operando Function

Closes: Dec 15, 2026

Our world is built on interfaces. Interfaces between solids, liquids, and gases govern many of the key processes in catalysis, energy conversion, and semiconductor technologies, yet their structures and chemical states are often dynamic and remain poorly understood. This project aims to uncover how functional interfaces form, evolve, and respond under realistic operating conditions using advanced laboratory- and synchrotron-based spectroscopies.

Students will learn to synthesize and fabricate novel solid-state materials, construct well-defined solid–liquid and solid–gas interfaces, and track their structural, electronic, and chemical evolution during catalytic reactions or other functional processes. Techniques including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), diffraction, and complementary optical/vibrational spectroscopies will be employed, with opportunities to perform in situ/operando experiments at international synchrotron facilities.

The project will provide interdisciplinary training spanning materials synthesis, interface science, spectroscopy, computation, and structure–property relationships.
