Research interests
My research interests are synthesis and analysis of functional nano-materials for environmentally friendly renewable
energy, such as electrocatalysis, photovoltaic and heterogeneous catalysis. A central goal of this work is relating surface
structure/properties, size and composition to the catalytic activity. For this research, I have expertise in inorganic synthesis
and experimental techniques such as UHV-based surface-sensitive techniques (e.g. XPS), SIMS, GC, MS, HRTEM,
FESEM, AFM, UV-Vis spectrometer, clean room technique (thin film deposition and photolithography) and DFT
calculation program.
