Welcome to the Huang Research Group
Designed by Chemists. Powered by the Sun.
The major theme of our research is focused on the development of cutting edge materials for various chemical reactions and applications in sustainable energy source. This effort involves the design, synthesis, and spectroscopic characterization of hybrid porous and semiconducting materials, with our aim to correlate the structure of these materials with their photophysical and photochemical properties.
