One of our research interests is controlled synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials for various applications. Many low dimensional materials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNT) exhibit exceptional high carrier mobility, high electrical and thermal conductivity and large specific surface area. By controlling synthesis and assembly, those exotic properties are able to be extended to macro-scale, which is important for applications like solar cells, supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries. We are also interested in the synthesis of conjugated polymer, which is another type of semi-conductive materials suitable for flexible electronics. We focus on the patterning of conjugated polymers in nano-scale for organic electronics
