Solar Energy, Photocatalytic reactions, Plasmonic Science, Low Dimensional Materials

Over the past 5 years, Wei Hsuan Hung laboratory made distinctive contributions to clean energy technology development and has been considered among the select few pioneers in the use of plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) and high surface area carbon-based materials for improvement of solar energy conversion and environmental quality. Wei Hsuan Hung published a series of important papers and patents on solar fuel production, water purification, green flexible electronics, advanced plasmonic carbon-based composited catalysts and their potential applications. (e.g. Nano Energy, 2016; ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2016, 2015; Applied Physics Letters, 2015; The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2014; ACS Catalysis, 2011; Nano Letters, 2010; Taiwan Patent No.I342077 and I318384).
