Research fields: Molecular Ferroelectric Materials/Optoelectronic Materials/Organic Synthesis
We are dedicated to creating novel functional molecules through chemical synthesis, conducting research on their dielectric, ferroelectric, optoelectronic, or magnetic properties, and exploring the relationship between structure and performance, striving to obtain functional materials with excellent performance and applicability. Additionally, we develop organic synthesis methods related to material synthesis or drug molecule synthesis. Students with backgrounds in organic synthesis, inorganic chemistry, or materials chemistry, who are brave in exploration, diligent, and motivated, are welcome to join us!!!
