Xihui Zhao's research focuses on designing carbon dots and related nanomaterials—tiny fluorescent particles—for uses such as detecting metal ions, encrypting information, glowing under specific conditions (phosphorescence), and applications like fingerprint imaging and anti-counterfeiting. The work also extends to related nanomaterials like metal-organic frameworks and biopolymer membranes for sensing, catalysis, and gas barrier applications.
