Research History

Nanosheets are a unique class of nanoscale materials that are obtained by the delamination of layered host compounds into elementary layers. The nanosheets exhibit new or enhanced physical properties associated with their unusual two-dimensional structure; around one nanometer in thickness versus micrometers in lateral size. My research activity is mainly focused on synthesis of new nanosheets and exploration of their photocatalytic properties.
