Research Interests:Renewable energy, photo-/electro-catalysts, nanosensing, electron microscopy, and nanomateri-als. The main interest is to synthesize nanomaterials, investigate phonon and electron transport at nanoscale, and develop their applications in thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, electrocatalytics, and bio-/thermo-sensors.Selected Publications (Total: 130, h-Index: 35, i10-index: 70, citations: 9000):
