Research Interests

Because of their scientific and practical significance, research on mesoporous materials, conducted mainly by using surfactant assemblies as templates, has been increasing rapidly. The specific features of regular pore arrangement, uniform mesopore size, and high surface area make these materials very promising for various applications. Mesoporous metals with high electroconductivity have attracted particular interest for their very wide range of applications in such items as batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, chemical sensors, field emitters, and photonic devices. Although several mesoporous metals have been prepared in the past, the mesostructures of these metals are less ordered than those reported for inorganic oxides such as silica. Therefore, the rational design of highly ordered mesoporous metals with controlled compositions and morphologies for practical applications is a most attractive and challenging objective. My present research interest is evolution and practical application of new types of mesoporous metals, especially mesoporous alloys and films with oriented mesochannels.
