Intuitive design and development of advanced materials have played a critical role in much of modern technology. In addition to development of advanced materials, novel synthesis and fabrication process are critical in order to reduce the manufacturing cost as well as performance enhancement.
Our group is engaged in developing novel solution-based synthesis procedures to produce metal alloys, metal oxides, nano composites. Our group is also involved in acquiring a fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationships of various transition metal oxides. The crystal chemistry, electrical and ionic transport properties, and electrochemical behaviors are being investigated.
