主要研究方向
课题组研究方向以有机合成化学为基础，包括但不局限于：手性有机光电材料的设计与合成，自下而上构建新型碳纳米结构，电化学相关的高分子材料，绿色有机合成方法，以及利用计算化学对反应过程与材料性质的探讨。
课题组诚招博士、硕士研究生、研究助理以及联合培养学生，同时欢迎本科生利用课余时间从事科研项目和毕业设计研究。
主要工作业绩
稠环芳烃材料在多种光电器件中展现了广泛前景，但是其制备手段较有限，使其普遍难以进行结构修饰与性能调整。肖啸博士通过探索芳炔独特的反应性及作用机制，发展了多米诺六脱氢狄尔斯阿尔德反应等方法，可以无须添加任何试剂，仅靠加热一步高效地获得一系列具有潜在应用价值的复杂并苯结构。此外设计与合成了具有已报道最大手性可见光吸收与最长刚性骨架结构的手性纯螺烯，并进一步将各类螺状分子作为电极材料应用于电池等能源器件中。相关成果共发表论文15篇，美国专利1项，其中以第一作者在Nature Chemistry, J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.上共发表6篇论文，以及参编Wiley出版社《Helicenes: Synthesis, Properties and Applications》专著第10章节。
主要奖励和荣誉
2019 明尼苏达大学化学系最佳博士论文
2018 国家优秀自费留学生奖学金
2013 中国科学技术大学优秀毕业生
