Research

The core mission of our research group is to drive the transition toward carbon neutrality through the design and characterization of advanced hybrid nanomaterials. Leveraging our expertise in inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, and state-of-the-art nanomaterials characterization, we address the urgent global need for renewable energy and sustainable environmental technologies.

​We specialize in the precise and hierarchical synthesis of multifunctional materials such as anisotropic nanocrystals, metal-organic frameworks, and polymers, focusing on understanding the synergetic effects that emerge at the nanoscale. By systematically modulating the molecular environments and interfaces within these materials, we aim to gain a quantitative understanding of molecular behavior in nanoscale confining and interfacial environments. These fundamental insights are translated into high-performance applications for carbon dioxide conversion, clean energy conversion, and atmospheric sustainability, providing essential chemical solutions for a net-zero future.
