Chong Liu // Novel Strategies for Lithium Extraction
The Liu Group at the University of Chicago studies and solves issues in energy, environment, and health.
Her research focuses on design and synthesis of materials as well as development of electrochemical and optical tools to address the challenges in water-energy nexus. This includes resource extraction from water systems, separation in liquid and gas phases, and catalysis.
Her group studies phenomena that span enormous length scales from molecular interaction to mass transport.
The Liu Group’s work aims to develop advanced characterization tools to understand and correlate the materials microscopic properties to macroscopic performance.
