Overview of Academic Research
Prof. Xiaoguo Zhou has long been dedicated to the technical development and application of scientific instruments combining mass spectrometry and spectroscopy. He first proposed and innovatively implemented the photoelectron-photoion coincidence with double velocity imaging technique, achieving high-precision measurement of chemical bond energies. He has also developed an ion trap mass spectrometer coupled with infrared spectroscopy, for typical demonstration research and applications in atmospheric environment and energy science fields. The relevant findings have been published in Nature Communications, Angewandte Chemie, and J. Phys. Chem. A/B/C/L, etc.
