The research in our laboratory is focused on the development of new nanomaterials and nanocomposites for applications in energy conversion and storage. With the goal of tackling the energy and environmental problems, we aim to develop efficient and cost-effective photo- and electrocatalysts based on the earth-abundant elements. Novel nanostructures rationally designed to have enhanced electron transfer rate, the number of active sites, and larger exposed areas are engaged to catalyze clean and renewable energy conversion reactions, including water splitting and CO 2 reductions reactions, as well as to develop next-generation energy storage materials.

( B ) Exfoliation phase producing both BP nanosheets and nanoparticles. ( C ) Mass production of BP nanosheets. Figure 2 In situ spectroelectrochemical studies of ZIF-67 and proposed structural evolution. ( A ) In situ UV-Vis spectroelectrochemical study between 0.925- 1.705 V. ( B ) In situ Raman spectroelectrochemical study between 0.925- 1.585 V. Only forward scans are shown. The sampling interval is 60 mV.( C ) Illustration of the pre-catalytic conversion of ZIF-67 to α -Co(OH) 2 and β -Co(OH) 2 , and their further oxidation and OER activity. Figure 3 Electron microscopic analysis of WO 3 and WO 3 with disordered layer (LT-WO 3 ). ( a , d ) SEM images of WO 3 and LT-WO 3 ( b , e ) Low-resolution TEM images of WO 3 and LT-WO 3 . ( c , f ) HR-TEM images of WO 3 and LT-WO 3 . The insets show the FFT patterns of selected areas (orange squares: monoclinic phase core; green squares: disordered layer).
