Research
Our research focuses on nanostructured materials such as metal-organic frameworks, carbon nanotubes, fullerene, graphene, black phosphorous. We synthesize them, study their physical and chemical properties by means of various spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, and seek their applications in optoelectronics, spintronics, energy harvesting and storage.
Novel nanostructures
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)
Single-molecule magnets (SMMs)
Functionalisation of nanostructures
Doping MOFs, SMMs, CNTs, graphene, fullerene and black phosphorous by intercalation with alkali metals, donor/acceptor molecules.
Electrochemical doping
