šŸŽ“Academic and Professional BackgroundĀ 

Shuqing Li is a Research Assistant at the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Science. His research addresses the technical bottleneck of carbon deposition in Ni-based catalysts for dry reforming of methane (DRM). By enhancing the coupling between carbon deposition resistance and heat transfer performance, Shuqing utilizes advanced characterization techniques to study the structural evolution of catalysts. This research aims to optimize the synergistic effects between improved heat transfer and catalytic activity to advance catalyst efficiency.
