Prof. Dr. Hai-Yang Liu

Prof. Dr. Hai-Yang Liu currently works as a Professor at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, South China University of Technology. He obtained a B.Sc. at Jiangxi University, and an M.Sc. and a Ph.D. at Zhongshan University. His research areas are the synthesis of functional macrocyclic porphyrin and corrole complexes, catalytic oxidation of organic substrates by metal corrolate and porphyrin, bioinorganic chemistry of porphyrin and corrole, self-assembled supramolecular porphyrin and corrole array with useful properties, and photo-physical property and electronic structure of metalloporphyrin and metal correlates. His current research projects are 1. photodynamic antitumor activity of corrole complexes. 2. Metal corrole-catalyzed organic reactions. 3. Metal corrole-based electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction.
