To study the biological effects of inorganic compounds, especially biological trace elements, and to explore the relationship between biological trace elements and health; to study the preparation and properties of inorganic nanomaterials for drug loading and diagnosis; to study and develop functional metal organic clusters and to explore their applications in optoelectronics, catalysis and adsorption. Mainly include the following directions:

1) Bioinorganic Chemistry:

Focusing on the chemical mechanism of the biological effects of trace elements selenium, iron and its small molecule compounds, explore the dependency relationship between inorganic compounds and that occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases, thereby using inorganic substances to prevent major diseases.

2) Coordination Chemistry:

Engaged in basic research work of coordination, including the structure and properties of metal organic clusters, study of synthesis, structure and properties of coordination supramolecules and functional materials with luminescence, catalysis and adsorption properties.

3) Solid Inorganic Chemistry:

To study the preparation a nd properties of inorganic nanomaterials, including inorganic nano magnetic materials, nano selenium and inorganic nano drug loaded materials.
