1) Rational synthesis of nanocarbons with non-alternant topologies

2) Atomically precise synthesis of 3D and ordered molecular nanocarbons, and supramolecular chemistry

3) Bottom-up organic synthesis of heteroatom-doped nanocarbons

4) Organic electronic nanodevices: Organic memory and memristors; Multi-functional integration of organic field-effect transistors; OLEDs, etc.
