Ye Chen is an Assistant Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, specializing in nanomaterials, metal, two-dimensional materials, and phase engineering. Their research focuses on the synthesis, properties, and applications of two-dimensional metal nanomaterials, with an emphasis on phase engineering to enhance catalytic performance. Chen's work explores the synthesis of heterophase nanomaterials, such as amorphous/crystalline Pd nanosheets and fcc-2H-fcc gold nanorods, for electrocatalytic reactions like hydrogen evolution and ethanol oxidation. They also investigate the role of crystal phase in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction and the synthesis of hybrid noble metal nanostructures for enhanced catalytic applications.
