Our
research is on the interface of
synthetic inorganic chemistry and
physical chemistry. Most of our projects
involve chemical assembly of
nanostructures from inorganic
nanomaterials (nanospheres, nanosheets,
and nanowires). The resulting
nanostructures function as optical
waveguides, chemical sensors,
photocatalysts, and magnetic actuators.
Currently the group focuses on
nanostructures for chemical sensing and
renewable energy applications.
Research in the group is supported by grants of the National Science Foundation, the Petroleum Research Fund administered by the American Chemical Society, and by the California Energy Commission.
