Research Interests：

Compared   with traditional carbon materials, the unique advantage of graphdiyne that   can be controlled synthesis on the surface of any substrate makes it more   convenient to adjust its size, shape, physical and chemical properties.   Recently many hybrid graphynes such as H-hetero, N-hetero, B-hetero,   halogen-hybrid graphene have also been prepared through the   "bottom-up" approach. Scientists have been working hard to improve   the known methods and explore new synthetic methods in order to obtain high-crystallinity   single-layer and few-layer graphdiyne films. The exploration and solution of   this problem will play an active role in further understanding the intrinsic   characteristics of graphdiyne and promoting the development of new graphene   carbon materials.

Using   the "bottom-up" route to achieve the successful preparation of   carbon-rich molecules with precise structure and controllable functions, that   helps to understand the dependence of its structure and performance from the   molecular level, and the relationship between growth and assembly; expanding   the preparation and application of the obtained carbon-based new materials in   the fields of photovoltaics, catalysis, and energy to further promote the   development of new carbon-based energy materials.

Research Projects：

Current Research Topics

1. Graphdiyne:   Preparation of high-crystallinity single-layer or a few layers of graphdiyne.

2. Nanoscale carbon-rich molecules: method   development of linear, circular, planar, or curved conjugated systems.
