The research mainly focuses on Corrosion and Corrosion Protection of equipment materials used in energy system including oil and gas, hydrogen and solar-thermal industries:

    (1) Corrosion assessment and prediction of materials (including extreme environment such as H₂S-CO₂-S-O₂ and molten salt )

    (2) Corrosion monitoring (including permeating hydrogen based monitoring, altrosonic and electrochemical monitoring techniques)

    (3) Corrosion control (including new anti-corrosion materials, corrosion inhibitors, sacle inhibitors, bactericide and coatings)
