This project aims to integrate high quality functional oxide heterostructures with semiconductor platforms and address the fundamental obstacles in oxides for highly efficient and high-speed transistor applications by engineering their electronic band structures. The project aims to establish a bridge between the diverse electronic properties of oxides and the established semiconductor platform, and generate new devices and functionalities. Expected outcomes include epitaxial functional oxides on Gallium arsenide with ultrahigh, room-temperature sheet electron mobility and a comprehensive understanding of its microscopic origin. This will fundamentally change the route toward novel transistors based on high speed and low energy oxide electronics.Read moreRead less
Structurally designed catalysts for high-performance natural gas reforming. This project aims to develop a new class of highly stable catalysts with specially designed physical and chemical structures that can be used in high temperature chemical processes. These catalysts can potentially be used for the reforming of natural gas to produce the synthesis gas, which can then be used to produce liquid fuels and chemicals.
Lead-free oxide perovskites for highly efficient solar cells. This project aims to develop nanostructured lead-free oxide perovskites for solar energy applications.
