Our research focuses on the synthesis and preparation of high-quality nanocarbon materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) through both bottom-up and top-down approaches.

In the bottom-up route, we explore methods for the controlled synthesis of single-crystal graphene and high-crystallinity graphene, aiming to achieve precise control over their structural and electronic properties.

In the top-down route, we develop advanced exfoliation and dispersion techniques, including oxidation- and non-oxidation-based processes, to obtain defect-minimized graphene flakes with excellent stability in various media. These strategies allow us to tailor the intrinsic characteristics of nanocarbons for fundamental studies and practical applications.

We design and fabricate multidimensional hybrid nanocomposites that combine high-quality nanocarbons with diverse functional materials. A key direction of our research is the development of three-dimensional nanoporous architectures, which provide large surface areas, enhanced transport pathways, and mechanical robustness.

By hybridizing these structures with nanocarbons, we create multifunctional composites with tunable electrical, thermal, and chemical properties. Such hybridization strategies enable the integration of structural and functional features in a single platform, opening pathways toward next-generation materials with superior performance.
