由雷爱文教授牵头的光电纳米催化创新中心，以解决基础的化学、物理、材料和能源方面的问题为导向。团队鼓励不同学科领域间的交叉创新研究，鼓励研究生和博士后在不同学科背景的课题组轮换，甚至到海外实验室进行培训，获得课题研究所需的各项技能。光电纳米催化团队致力于光催化、电催化和小分子（如CH₄、H₂O、CO₂ 和 N₂等）活化等方面的研究。最近在无外部氧化剂条件下氧化交叉偶联制备氢气方面取得重大进展。

　　The NCC, which is directed by Aiwen Lei, aims to solve fundamental problems in chemistry, physics, materials, and energy research. The NCC team actively encourages interdisciplinary collaborations to facilitate innovation. Lei conceived a program whereby graduate students and postdoctoral fellows train for the required technical skills by rotating within subgroups within the NCC as well as international laboratories. The team has worked diligently on photo-catalysis, electro-catalysis, and activation of small molecules, such as CH₄, H₂O, CO₂, and N₂. Notably, hydrogen evolution was obtained by external oxidant-free oxidative cross-coupling.

  学术队伍：雷爱文，顾栋、闵杰、陈宜鸿、翟月明、Abhishek Dutta Chowdhury、赵翔。
