Our group is developing technologies of highly-efficient green hydrogn production from photoelectrochemical water splitting based on novel nanostructured materials and their composites. We mainly focus on the development of large scale hydrogen production from photoelectrochemical water splitting. We are also developing novel materials using modulation and simulation.
Our research group focuses on the design/synthesis/development of earth abundant, ultra low-cost, eco-friendly, and emerging inorganic absorber materials for solar cell applications. Implementation of these materials as thin films and eventually into the device structure is investigated by understanding the physical properties such as light absorption, charge carrier separation, recombination, and transport at the nanometer scale.
Our group focuses on the development of electrode materials that can offer great capacity, safety and stability to be used in lithium and sodium ion batteries. Metal oxides and their composites are environment-friendly and relatively cheap materials that intercalate Li+ or Na+ but have weakness of low conductivity and slow ion diffusion. To overcome these our group is investigating hybrid carbon/metal oxide materials. In addition, we also try to reduce the size of the particles and create morphologies which could provide a better path for ion diffusion.
