Yu-Hsu Chang is a Professor in the Department of Materials and Mineral Resources Engineering at National Taipei University of Technology. His research focuses on electrochemical catalysis and energy materials, including the oxygen evolution reaction, nitrogen & nitrate reduction reaction, and CO₂ reduction. His work emphasizes mechanistic understanding using in situ and operando spectroscopic techniques, alongside active international research collaboration.
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.
