Chun-Hu Chen Nanomaterial Research Group 
Department of Chemistry, National Sun Yat-Sen University

Welcome to Nanomaterial Research Group of Dr. Chun-Hu Chen! Our primary research focuses on the synthesis of various graphene nancomposites, metal oxide nanomaterials, and their application towards clean energy, water splitting, smart devices, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and bio-sensing. Industry-orientated research is also the focus. We are also interested in finding out the underlying mechanisms and interactions existing on these composites. To make contribution to clean energy and sustainable Earth together, we welcome everyone who wanted to collaborate with or join our research team. For more information, please contact us here.
