The biggest problem for the realization of future hydrogen economy society is the production of hydrogen gas via clean and cost-effective approaches. The existing conventional technologies have produced hydrogen as the by-product gases generated while refining crude oil or reforming natural gas at high temperature; however, they also generate a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, which is one or the critical reasons causing global warming effect. To overcome such issue, the electrochemical water electrolysis is emerging as the best potential solution to produce green hydrogen gas without pollution effect. Since the development of cathodic and anodic electrodes for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), respectively, critically determines the energy efficacy of electrolyzer devices, promoting the catalytic adsorption and activation of water to accelerate HER and OER kinetics is important for these systems. Though platinum (Pt)- and Ru/Ir-based materials exhibit great catalytic abilities in HER and OER, respectively, the high cost and limited availability restrict their extensive applications. Hence, exploring less expensive, non-noble metal catalysts with high performance is necessary for the development of new efficient generation electrolyzer technology.
Professor Duy Thanh Tran's research interest involves the design of novel catalyst systems for energy conversion applications. Especially, he focuses on the production of novel effective electrocatalysts with excellent performance and low-cost for high-efficiency green hydrogen production via water splitting. Recently, he successfully developed high-performance non-precious metal catalyst systems via mass production method, which are expected to bring great opportunities for advanced hydrogen production technologies and market expansion in the hydrogen fuel cell industry.
During his research period, prof. Duy Thanh Tran has published 2 international book chapters more 100 SCI papers, 80% of his research articles in top-ranking journals, such as Energy Environ. Sci. (IF: 32.2); Adv. Energy Mater. (IF: 27.8), Adv. Funct. Mater. (IF: 19.92), Nano Energy (IF: 19.07), Appl. Catal. B-Environ. (IF: 22.1), Prog. Mater. Sci. (IF: 48.16); Nano Today (IF: 18.96);.... His publication achieved citations of 4900 along with H-index of 44 and i10-index of 74.
