Professor Jin’s research focuses on the study of photoinduced reaction dynamics in materials for solar energy conversion by using ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy and super resolution single-molecule imaging technology. The ongoing research targets:
1. Photoinduced interfacial charge separation and energy transfer dynamics using ultrafast laser spectroscopy
2. Super resolution single-molecule imaging of photocatalytic reaction reactions.
3. Design and development of hybrid materials for efficient light energy conversion.
