Biography
My research is generally focused on nanomaterials, which includes the preparation, characterization and performance test. My main interest lies in studying the relationship between structure, morphology and properties of powder and film samples. These nanomaterials are supposed to be used as photoanodes, photocatalysts, catalysts and biomaterials. At present, I am involved at the following research projects:
