Xingchen Ye works in materials science with a focus on synthesizing and studying metal nanocrystals (tiny particles of metals like gold, platinum, and copper) and understanding how they grow, assemble into ordered structures, and function as catalysts. The research includes tuning nanoparticle shapes and surfaces for applications such as fuel-cell catalysts and light-interacting (plasmonic) materials, along with related work on nanocrystal self-assembly and advanced electron-microscopy characterization.
