The group is working on the chemical design of novel functional materials for applications in electronics, photonics, sensors and energy storage. Such materials include graphene, carbon nanotubes, inorganic nanowires, colloidal particles, macroporous oxides and some others. Our strategy is to control the structure and composition of these materials at nanoscale to define their properties.
Major Areas
