Research Fields

Overview of research

Our aim is to drive technological advancements toward a sustainable future, leveraging our extensive material knowledge. Nanospace and nanoarchitecturing can control physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties based on their ultrafine nanostructure and constituent elements. We are exploring new synthetic methods, nanoscale control & techniques, and functionalizing nanomaterials for energy & environment-related applications.
