ACTIVE RESEARCH

 

Nanostructured oxide thin films and mesoporous materials

Synthesis of oxide films (SnO2, TiO2, ZrO2, CeO2,In2O3) and mesoporous powders (V2O5-TiO2) from aqueous media for optical, sensing, and catalytic applications, by manipulating solution chemistry and substrate-film interactions.

Nanoscale modifications of solid oxide fuel cells

Tailoring the performance of solid oxide fuel cells in aggressive environments by modifying the interfacial chemistry with nanoscale ceramic films.

Biomimetic, nanostructured hydroxyapatite coatings

Modifying the surface structure and chemistry of metallic implant materials to promote growth of adherent, osteogenic calcium phosphate coatings.

POTENTIAL IMPACT

This research seeks not only more effective performance of functional oxide materials through nanoscale materials chemistry, but also more environmentally benign (aqueous, low-temperature) synthesis routes and advances in energy-efficient technologies (such as fuel cells).
