Research Interests
- Synthesis, characterization and self-assembly of various composite nanoparticles with novel optical, electronic, magnetic, thermal, and mechanical properties.
- Fabrication of novel nanocatalysts and inorganic/organic hybrid membranes for applications in photovoltaic solar cells, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, solar hydrogen production, photocatalytic fuel formation, and photodegradation of organic pollutants.
- Development of new nanomaterial-based intelligent sensors for nonlinear optical switching, biological species identification, trace chemical detection, and environmental contaminant monitoring.
- Probing interfacial processes at nanoscales in complex environmental systems with advanced neutron and spectroscopic techniques (small-angle neutron scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, neutron reflectometry, surface enhanced Raman scattering, and fluorescence, etc.)
