RESERCH INTERESTS

Our present research focuses on nanoscaled functional materials for sustainable energy applications, which broadly include electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, photoelectrochemistry and advanced batteries. The major goal of my research group is to develop novel strategies and techniques exploiting nanoscale architectures through tailoring their structures, dimensions and chemical interfaces at the molecular level in order to enhance the efficiency of alternative energy conversion and storage devices. We launch interdisciplinary efforts to approach this goal with an emphasis on understanding the basic chemical and physical principles governing nanoscale effects on these important processes. In particular, we are interested at:

  • Synthesis and characterization of functional nanomaterials
  • Electrolysis: nanomaterials for hydrogen evolution, oxygen reduction, alcohol oxidation, CO2 reduction and N2 reduction
  • Energy storage: nanomaterials for sodium-ion batteries and rechargeable metal-air batteries
  • Photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic water splitting and CO2 reduction
