Introduction

  • Director: 2018-2021 Inst. Mineral Resources Eng., Taipei Tech
  • Professor: 2019 - present  Dept. Materials & Mineral Resources Eng., Taipei Tech
  • Associate Professor: 2016 - 2019 Dept. Materials & Mineral Resources Eng., Taipei Tech
  • Assistant Professor: 2006 - 2016 Dept. Materials & Mineral Resources Eng., Taipei Tech

The research objectives in MATERIALS CHEMISTRY include the synthesis of multi-functional nanomaterials, surface science, catalytic reactions for clean energy conversion and modifying conventional materials for practical applications. We are honored that international students majoring in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering joint this challenging and dynamic working laboratory.

Our recent research focuses on the development of new materials for electrochemical oxidation evolution reaction, nitrate/CO2 co-reduction, and using synchrotron radiation-driven in-situ near-ambient-pressure XPS/operando Raman spectroscopy to observe the conversion in the surface composition of electrode materials during the reaction.
