Carbon Materials GroupAbove the clouds, down to the science

The Carbon Materials Group is a research team at the School of Energy and Power Engineering, Jiangsu University. We ask a simple question: how do we turn biomass — an abundant, messy, low-value resource — into fuels, chemicals and functional materials that are actually worth something?

Our approach pairs experiments with theory. Catalytic pyrolysis, carbon materials and photocatalysis on one side; density functional theory (DFT) and machine learning on the other. The computation explains what the experiment sees, and the experiment keeps the computation honest.
