I have selected a topic for my research work which is "nanostructured materials for solar energy conversion" I have read many of articles, most of which are about Li batteries but I want to do something new. Anyone who's in this field suggests something new.:smile:

He did not say anything. I said to my supervisor that I want to search for a new topic and to do new work he appreciates.. so that's why I am asking for suggestion:smile:

Are you having communication problems with your supervisor, or is he mute?

Did you ask him what you asked here, i.e. "... I want to study nanostructured materials for solar energy conversion... do you have a suggestion on new topics in this area?" And then he didn't say ANYTHING to you?

Either I find this hard to believe, or you should be looking for a different supervisor.

of course, he suggested me new topics for my research work. But I am looking for more topic that might be interesting for me. so am asking here.

Then you shouldn't have said that "He did not say anything", because that is a false statement.

But I am looking for more topic that might be interesting for me. so am asking here.

Unfortunately, since we don't know you, it is almost impossible to suggest a topic that "... might be interesting.." for you. Considering that your supervisor knows this topic, I would pay more weight on his suggestion than from what you gather off an online forum.
