Our research is focused on three main areas:
- Synthesis and property characterization of graphene and other novel carbon materials;
- High performance energy storage devices (supercapacitors, Li-ion batteries, etc.) based on novel carbon materials;
- Photoelectric conversion of two-dimensional systems
