Research Topics
The Nanotechnology and Renewable Energy Group (Nano-Group) focuses on the development and fabrication of a low cost photovoltaic
solar cell (Nano-solar cell) and white light emitting diode (Nano-LED)
utilizing the new properties of semiconductors and polymers when synthesized in
the Nano-scale size. Future nano-electronic products
require the development of new materials that are not currently available.
Nano-Group consequently focuses their
research activities on materials and applications that show the
potential to offer significant advantages over materials and products used today.
In addition to investigating and characterizing new materials, Nano-Group is
undertaking research on the integration of these materials into semiconductor
products with nano-scale dimensions.
