Prof. Dr. Yi Shen’s research focuses on the design, synthesis, and application of nanomaterials for environmental and energy-related challenges. Key areas include atomic-level engineering of covalent organic and triazine frameworks for adsorption, catalysis, and pollutant degradation, as well as fuel and energy conversion. Her work emphasizes understanding the fundamental mechanisms of electron and spin behavior, interstitial electrons, and defect structures to enhance catalytic efficiency and selectivity. Applications cover photocatalytic and electrocatalytic processes, water remediation, CO₂ reduction, H₂O₂ production, and polymerization-assisted pollutant removal. By integrating experimental synthesis with mechanistic insights, she develops highly efficient, sunlight-driven, and flow-based catalytic systems for environmental remediation and energy conversion. Supported by major national and provincial science foundations, Prof. Dr. Yi Shen has published extensively in high-impact journals, contributing significantly to both the fundamental understanding and practical application of advanced nanomaterials in environmental and energy technologies.
