Research Interests：
Our present research focuses on nanoscaled functional materials for sustainable energy applications, which broadly include electrocatalysis, advanced lithium ion batteries, aqueous batteries, metal air batteries and solar water splitting. 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.
