Research Interest

Research Interests 1) Design & synthesis of π-conjugated molecules π-conjugated molecules, including small molecules and polymers, are of great importance in materials chemistry, they are able to serve in OLED (transporting layer, active layer), OPV (donor, non-fullerene acceptor), OTFT (active layer), even Perovskite Solar cells (Eletron / Hole transporting materials). Our group focus on synthesis of π-conjugated molecules, especially n-type semiconductors for n-type OTFT, or electron transporting materials in PVKSC. 2) Organic nanoparticles with NIR absorption for cancer imaging and therapy Cancer diagnosis and treatments has attracted much attetion in the past decades, most current cancer therapeutic modalities still lack specificity and are further limited by undesirable toxic side effects as well as high rates of tumor recurrence. Our group focus on preparation of Organic nanoparticles with NIR absorption, especially with NIR-II (1100 - 1700 nm) absorption, and study their bio-imaing properties and canncer therapy performance, such as photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, photoacoustic therapy (including photoacoustic imaging)
