D. SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES
Research Interests
Our research is focused on the control of the structure and microstructure, particle size and its distribution, morphology, and surface and interface of rare earth functional materials, so as to modify and enhance the behaviors. At present, our topics of research are as follows:
（1） Fabrication and characterization of the nanosized rare earth functional materials;
（2） Self-assembly of the rare earth molecular materials;
（3） Optimized design and automation of rare earth separation processes.
