Main Research Interests and Following Research Directions
Explore the influences of molecular design, assembly pattern, and plasmonic resonance on photocatalysis of 2D materials/nanoparticles composites for hydrogen production
1. Create molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) cladding nanoparticles as a kind of novel nano-composites.
2. Design and synthesis of metal-coordinated covalent organic framework (M-COF) 2D materials able to achieve layer-by-layer hybrid stacking with nanoparticles.
Phases in materials are functioning and evolving simultaneously
1. Elasticity of amorphous/ordered phases
2. Photocatalytic/Electrocatalytic water splitting
3. Capacitors and dielectrics under alternate electric fields
4. Piezoelectric responses
5. Artificial muscle
Phases are evolving, which makes molecules inside the phase behave differently.
