My research interest involves the synthesis of various nanoparticles to be employed as photocatalysts. Currently, we focus on the issue of sustainability by applying our photocatalysts in

1. Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to produce value-added chemicals, for example, methane and methanol
2. Hydrogen evolution reaction by splitting water to produce green hydrogen.

Our goal is to improve the production yield of such reactions by

1. Modifying the photocatalysts with other transition metal atoms or their oxide;
2. Creating a composite with some 2D materials.
