Functional Energy/Electronic Materials & Devices

OUR MISSIONS

Functional-E(ENERGY) M&D

Our group is dedicated to the development of next-generation energy materials for energy conversion and storage systems, particularly in the realms of lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, and water splitting catalysts. This work is grounded in a fundamental and synthetic understanding of functional materials and their properties. Furthermore, we are engaged in the development of novel microstructured and nanostructured electrode materials to address critical performance behaviors related to the overall efficiency of energy conversion and storage. Tailoring transition metal compounds, along with devising new synthetic methods for controlling the resultant nanostructures in a diverse manner, is essential for achieving further advancements in energy applications. 

Functional-E(ELECTRONIC) M&D

My research interests lie in the fundamental studies of thin, low-dimensional transition metal compounds, with a particular focus on materials such as graphene, MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide), and hBN (hexagonal boron nitride), and their applications as advanced functional electronic electrodes. These materials are selected for their exceptional properties, including high flexibility, stretchability, transparency, and broad applicability in multi-purpose devices and electronics. The research involves synthesizing these compounds through practical deposition methods, conducting extensive characterization using advanced analytical techniques, and fabricating nano- and micro-scale devices. By exploring the potential of these nanodimensional materials, we aim to develop innovative solutions for the next generation of electronic devices.
