Research Interest
We aim to apply synthetic strategy to create novel optoelectronic materials including nanocrystals, perovskite, and organic molecules for applications like solar cells, photocatalysis, luminescence, display, and photodetectors. We are particularly interested in leveraging chemistry method to address interface and surface problems that generally exist for nanomaterials, and realizing low cost and high performance optoelectronic devices
