Wanyu Deng
Postdoctoral Researcher
I earned my PhD degree at Tianjin University under the guidance of Prof. Jinlong Gong, focusing on kinetic mechanisms of CO2/CO reduction. In 2020, I conducted 2-year research with Prof. Seger as an exchange student at the Technical University of Denmark. I am currently working with Prof. Jiao on electrochemical reduction of CO2/CO to acetate.

Hefei Li
Postdoctoral Researcher
I received a B.S. degree in Applied Chemistry from Central China Normal University in 2017 and a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in 2023. I joined the Jiao group in 2023 as a postdoctoral researcher. My research interests focus on the electroreduction of CO2/CO to multicarbon products.
