Xin Gao’s group is primarily focused on controllable synthesis of advanced low-dimensional carbon materials and their applications in sustainable energy. We are particularly interested in engineering the structure and properties of carbonene fibers precisely and designing innovative carbon materials for various industrial applications. Our vision is to promote basic scientific research, applied research, and industrial application of carbon nanomaterials.
Research Area and Interests:
1. High quality carbon nanotube fibers;
2. New low-dimensional carbon materials;
3. High-energy density rechargeable batteries.
