Dr. Tüysüz’s research focuses on designing and developing functional halide perovskite structures for solar energy conversion, as well as tailoring nanoscale materials for catalytic transformations such as water electrolysis for green hydrogen generation, thermocatalytic CO2 conversion, and catalytic plastic recycling. The motivation behind the research line is to advance understanding of the structure-activity relationships in the field of heterogeneous catalysis and materials science. One of our main strategies involves developing sustainable synthetic and catalytic processes by precisely controlling the key physicochemical properties of advanced energy materials at the atomic and nanoscale, using both top-down and bottom-up approaches.
