Research Interests: Precise Synthesis of Functional Molecular Materials and Their Performance in Organic Field-Effect Transistors
1. We specialize in the synthesis of heteroatom-doped molecular materials, and systematically investigate their photophysical and electrochemical properties as well as their molecular assembly behavior to explore their potential in optoelectronic applications.
2. We combine interface engineering and single-crystal thin-film techniques to decode structure-property relationships in organic semiconductors, enabling rational design of high-performance materials.
