Research

Currently, I mainly work on the synthesis of complextransition metal chalcogenide hierarchical micro- and nanostructuresvia solution phase synthesis route or vapor method and their application on energy and environment science. Main research interests include growth mechanism of various of nanocrystals, melt behavior of single 1D (one-dimension) nanocrystal under the exposure of the electron beam and morphology-dependent electrical properties.
