Shuang Li received her Bachelor’s degree from Sichuan University, Master’s degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Ph.D. from Technische Universität Berlin. She has been doing independent research funded by Technische Universität Berlin, UniSysCat, and Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) from the year of 2019 to 2021. Currently, she is appointed as a full professor in the College of Polymer Science and Engineering at Sichuan University. Her current research focuses on synthesizing metal-organic hybrid precursors for the designing of hybrid catalysts with atomic-scale controlled structures and their applications in catalysis, including water splitting, fuel cells, CO₂ reductions, and metal-sulfur batteries.

1. Structural design and synthesis of metal-organic hybrid precursor materials: This includes the controllable synthesis of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs), and porous polymers.

2. The construction of atomic-level catalytic sites, the study of synergistic mechanisms, and the investigation of support effects.

3. High-performance electrolytic water splitting catalysts: The design, preparation, and study of catalytic mechanisms for both hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution catalysts.

4. High-performance lithium-sulfur battery electrode materials: Particularly focusing on the key issue of catalytic conversion of polysulfide compounds in lithium-sulfur batteries.

5. High-performance CO2 hydrogenation catalysis; catalytic degradation of waste plastics for hydrogen production.
