Our research centers on the innovative design and synthesis of advanced nanomaterials, such as perovskites, semiconductors, plasmonic oxides, metal–semiconductor composites, polymer composites, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Leveraging their unique structural, optical, and electronic properties, we develop cutting-edge solutions to address pressing energy and environmental challenges.

We utilize advanced wet-chemical techniques for precise bottom-up synthesis, enabling fine control over material composition, morphology, and functionality. These tailored nanomaterials are optimized for high-performance applications, including optoelectronics, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), sensing technologies, heterogeneous catalysis, photocatalysis, and water splitting. Our research further extends to energy storage, CO₂ reduction, and environmental remediation, where MOFs, COFs, and plasmonic–semiconductor composites play pivotal roles in sustainable solutions.

By integrating innovative material design with advanced characterization methods, we strive to push the boundaries of materials science and drive the development of next-generation technologies for a sustainable, energy-efficient future.
