Her current research focuses on the advanced catalytic materials synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) method. FSP process is a highly promising and versatile technique for the rapid synthesis of nano-stuctural materials without subsequent calcination treatment. The combustion of the aerosol at high temperature followed by rapid quenching produces dispersible nano-sized oxide powders with special properties, such as novel phases, compositions, morphology and metastable structures. It is also a powerful technology for regulation the metal-support interactions in a wide range. This strategy can be applied to the design and fabrication of novel catalysts which may not be easy accessible by conventional processes. She also worked on the development of Pd-based catalytic membrane reactor in the aspects of high efficient nano-sized catalysts and ultrathin Pd membrane with high chemical stability.
