Abstract
Recent advances in precise control over the shape and size of various nanoparticles have enabled the systematic engineering of their promising properties. To incorporate new functionalities, the different types of nanoparticles are also being coupled to form hybrid nanostructures (e.g. composite, core-shell and Janus) with combined optical, electronic and magnetic properties. In this talk, we will present our recent research on functional nanostructures and energy-driven water splitting.
