Lihua Zhang’s research interests focus on the microstructure and applications of nanomaterials. By advanced TEM and STEM techniques, she works on exploiting detailed understanding of microstructure and property relationships of nanoscale materials, interface, biomaterials, and semiconductors. Currently, she further emphasizes on application of Cs-corrected transmission electron microscopy techniques to investigate the atomic structure and chemistry of nanostructures. Her recent work covers energy storage/conversion materials including catalysts, thermoelectric materials, ferromagnetic materials, and battery materials.
