Welcome to Our Lab

Novel Functional Materials Group (NFMG)

Our group is interested in the novel multi-functional materials,  exploring the design principles  and synthesis of novel functional  materials.  There is a strong focus on design, synthesis and application of superhard, superconducting and energy-related materials, and material characterizations using the state-of-art high-pressure techniques.  

The goal of our research is to provide the fundamental understanding of these functional materials. We are designing novel functional materials with controlled composition, structure, and properties based on DFT. We synthesize and characterize these novel materials at ambient and extreme conditions and understand structure-property relationships in the development of multifunctional materials for potential applications in technological, electronics, optoelectronics, energy conversion and storage materials and devices.
