Solution-phase Synthesis of One-dimensional Semiconductor Nanostructures

Limin Qi received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Peking University in 1990 and his Ph.D degree in Physical Chemistry from Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Jiming Ma in 1998. He then went to the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Germany to do his postdoctoral work with Prof. Markus Antonietti and Dr. Helmut Cölfen on biomimetic mineralization. In 2000, he joined the College of Chemistry at Peking University, where he is now a full professor. He is an editorial board member of Chinese Journal of Chemistry and Chinese Science Bulletin, and an advisory board member of Advanced Functional Materials. His current research focuses on the controlled synthesis and hierarchical assembly of inorganic microand nanostructures by colloidal chemical methods as well as bioinspired approaches.
