The main research interestin our group is to identify and challenge the key scientific problems forefficient solar to chemical energy conversion, carry out fundamental researchfor better understanding the solar to chemical energy conversion processes by meansof bench-top material synthesis/assembly and various spectroscopic techniques.The ultimate goal of our research is to develop efficient sunlight capturingphotocatalysts and assembly functional integrated photocatalytic systems forefficient solar to energy conversion. Throughout the research activities,particular emphasis will be focused on better understanding the energy transferrelated processes theoretically and experimentally.

　　Our group is also dedicatedto develop materials and processes for low cost solar cell fabrication. Themain research areas include: High efficiency, low cost thin film solar cellfabrication process development, Thin film nanocrystalline silicon based solarcell research, Nanoscale materials: design, fabrication and application insolar cells, Thin film compound (e.g. CdTe) solar cell development, Nanofabrication for light trapping in solar cells using chemical, electrochemicaland plasma processes and Dye-sensitized solar cells. .
