Research

1.Nanocomposites

Design and synthesis of nanocomposite materials based on molecular clusters and polymers for catalysis, gas separation and proton conduction.

Figure 1. Our group has successfully revealed and predicted the adsorption and separation properties of polyoxometalates by using quasi-elastic and inelastic neutron scattering methods

2.Polyoxometalate Chemistry:

We are dedicated to the Study of the formation mechanism of nanoclusters by integrating light scattering, small angle X-ray scattering, and small angle neutron scattering.

3.Polymer physics and biophysics

The dynamic behavior of specific molecules in macromolecular-inorganic hybrid materials is studied by means of inelastic neutron scattering to reveal their unprecedented dynamic behavior and properties.
