Research Fields and Interests：
Our research work is focused on the controlled synthesis and hierarchical assembly of inorganic/organic micro- and nanostructures by colloidal chemical methods as well as bio-inspired routes, which is aimed to explore facile, effective, and environmentally benign routes to novel functional materials with specific size, morphology, and architectures. Current research topics include:
1. Colloidal chemical approaches to morphology-controlled inorganic micro- and nanostructures.
2. Controlled synthesis and hierarchical assembly of specific nanoscale building blocks.
3. Biomineralization and biomimetic materials chemistry.
4. Application of inorganic micro- and nanomaterials in energy conversion.
