Dr. Lou’s current research interests focus on hollow structures, nanostructured materials for applications in lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors, photocatalysis, electro-catalysis, water treatment, etc..

If you are interested in these areas, you are welcome to contact him or any group members below to learn more about this group.

 

Dr. David Lou is currently an Associate Editor for Journal of Materials Chemistry A (JMC 2011 IF = 5.97). High-quality manuscripts about nanostructured materials (mainly inorganic or hybrid) are welcome by his editorial office. In general, interesting properties or applications of the nanostructured materials need to be clearly demonstrated in addition to the novel synthesis of nanostructured materials. David Lou will try his best to make a decision for most manuscripts sent out for review within 4 weeks since the manuscript is assigned to him. Please send email to materialsA@rsc.org regarding any JMC-A matter.

To prospective group members: A minimum necessary requirement for graduation with a PhD from this group is to accumulate 20 IF (impact factor) points, and at least 14 of which should be earned from first-author publications. For example, a student earns X points if s/he publishes a paper as the first author in a journal with IF of X (X/2 and X/3 points as the second and third author respectively). A RF is expected to contribute at least 10 points a year as the first author.
