研究领域

The Yang group's research interests include transformative nanomanufacturing of nanostructured films and their applications in renewable energy conversion and storage devices, environmental science and flexibleelectronics. Our research focuses on design and synthesis of highly ordered porous films with precisely controlled chemical composition and morphology; fundamental investigation of new electrochemical, electronic and optical properties; and exploration of novel cutting-edge technologies arising in these advanced materials.
