Abstract
Material synthesis is the key issue for practical applications of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The chemical composition, size, morphology and phase of the materials determine the chemical and physical properties of materials themselves. Our research focuses on the rational design and nanoscale integration of highly complex nanostructures through chemical synthesis and/or physical assembly. A strong emphasis is placed on the hetero-integration of multi-composition, multi-structure and multi-function at nanoscale, with an aim to create a new generation of integrated nanosystems with unique functions or unprecedented performances that can break the boundaries of traditional technologies. In this seminar, I will discuss the approaches towards the successful material synthesis and their applications in the fields of solar energy conversion, nanodevices, fine organic synthesis and biology. Several examples including hetero-integrate a nanoscale photovoltaic devices, 1D porous semiconductor nanowires and several of nanostructures will be presented.
