Research Projects

The study focuses on the development of single-atom nanofiber materials, which offer short charge transport paths, superior chemical stability, and one-dimensional morphology. The materials will be based on polymer nanofibers, with the installation strategy of single atoms enabling maximum atom-site utilization in a one-dimensional nanoarchitecture. A one-dimensional fiber with flexible ergonomics has been prepared and investigated using PDMS coating. The project aims to investigate the effects of polymers (PDMS, PU, PAN) on the composite nanofiber containing single-atom metals and structural features in one-dimension, such as hierarchical pore network, electron transport path length, chemical stability, and flexibility. The study also aims to determine the electronic and structural features of atomic nanofibers and their link to biofuel cell (BFC) performance. The main experiments will involve electrospinning of PDMS, PAN, and PU nanofiber with single-atom metal, characterization experiments using XANES-EXAFS and STEM techniques, and biofuel cell electrode fabrication and performance analysis. The research will enrich the advancement of nanofiber materials and biofuel cell-based products, with one-dimensional electrospun atomic nanofiber materials advancing biofuel cell performance due to maximum atom-site utilization of electrodes.
