Zhiqun Lin

Zhiqun Lin is a Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on nanostructured functional materials (NanoFM), including polymer-based nanocomposites, quantum dots, nanocrystals, and hierarchically structured materials. Applications span energy conversion (e.g., solar cells), energy storage (Li-ion batteries), and photocatalysis. His lab, NanoFM, emphasizes precise synthesis, characterization, and self-assembly of functional nanomaterials.

Research interests include:

• Monodisperse functional nanocrystals (core/shell, hollow, Janus)
• Materials for solar energy and hydrogen generation
• Thermoelectric nanocrystals and polymer self-assembly

Lab activities involve synthesis via living polymerizations (ATRP, RAFT) and click reactions. Group members include Shuang Liang and Mingyue Zhang. The lab is located in 3100K MoSE with contact details available at http://nanofm.mse.gatech.edu/.
