Main Research Fields

（1）Novel conjugated polymer as semiconductor photocatalysts

This research is focused on investigating novel conjugated polymer as semiconducting materials with visible light response. Combined with theoretical computation, it can clarify the transfer property of photogenerated electrons and structure-activity relationship of polymer photocatlyst, and pave a new way towards the potential applications of polymer photocatalysts in the field of clean energy, photocatalytic organic synthesis, environmental purification and optoelectronic devices. (Chem. Commun., 2017, 53, 10536; ACS Catal., 2013, 3, 912; Chem. Commun., 2012, 48,3533；Chem. Commun., 2010, 46, 73)。

(2)  Study on the light absorption and carrier separation of nano-sulfide semiconductor based on defects engineering.

By changing the synthesis conditions and introducing cationic vacancy into the lattice of nano-sulfide semiconductor, the visible light absorption characteristics of the material were not only improved, but also a two-photon absorption effect was generated, which greatly improved the photocatalytic activity of material for water splitting and effectively inhibited the occurrence of photocorrosion. Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, 2018, 221, 302–311及Applied Catalysis B: Environmental. 2018, 229: 41-52

(3) Strong interfacial interaction between inorganic-polymer hybrid heterojunction

Based on the strong electronic interaction between polyimide and sulfide semiconductor, in-situ growth of transition metal sulfides/oxides 2D nanocrystals or quantum dots was carried out on the surface of polymer with optimal orientation. By investigating the visible light absorption characteristics and carrier transfer rate of hybrid heterojunction materials, we can reveal the essential relationship between the energy band structure, photogenic electron transport and photocatalytic activity of these composite photocatalytic materials.(Daldon, 2017,46, 3877；SOLAR ENERGY MATERIALS AND SOLAR CELLS, 2016, 150, 102；ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces, 2015, 27, 14628)

(4) The research on multifunctional carbon quantum dot

This research was aimed at developing high-flux in-situ doped carbon quantum dots, investigating the relationship between the location of hetero-atom dopants in the skeleton of quantum dot and fluorescence quantum efficiency, as well as the catalytic activity and stability of materials. By realizing the multifunctionalization of carbon quantum dots with high enzyme simulation catalytic activity and luminescence quantum yield, we could also further explore the new applications of doped carbon quantum dots as enzyme catalysts, cell markers and molecular sensors.
