Inorganic Nanomaterials Research Group (hufsnanolab)
Department of Chemistry, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS)
Welcome to the Nanomaterials Research Group at HUFS. We are a dynamic and interdisciplinary team based in the Department of Chemistry, focused on the design, synthesis, and application of novel nanostructured materials.
Our research centers on the unique properties of nanoscale materials—defined by having at least one dimension below 100 nanometers—which differ significantly from their bulk counterparts due to quantum size effects and increased surface-to-volume ratios. These nanomaterials include metals, nonmetals, metal oxides, and organic-based structures, and they exhibit remarkable potential in a range of advanced technologies. We are also interested in innovative synthesis of new porous materials with a wide range of applications.
