Following the previous work, Dr. Sam Hsu’s research team uncovers the intrinsic and interfacial properties of lead-free hybrid perovskite halide material (i.e., MA3Bi2Cl9–yIy). The dynamic interfacial interactions of band-gap funneling MA3Bi2Cl9–xIx perovskites are systematically investigated by using temperature-dependent transient photoluminescence and electrochemical voltammetric techniques.
Metal oxides are a promising catalyst for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting to produce hydrogen as alternative energy. However, their effectiveness is restricted at low voltage. A research team led by scholars from City University of Hong Kong (CityU), Australia and Germany successfully mediated the poor charge carrier transport at low voltage by adding phosphorus to a metal oxide catalyst, which reduced energy losses during water splitting. The findings offer a potential option for achieving carbon neutrality.
SEE PhD student Miss Yuwei Du and Postdoc Mr. Sai Liu from Dr. Edwin Tso’s research group were interviewed by Fengshows regarding their developed intelligent thermal-responsive window for building thermal management and energy saving.

After the CityU HK Tech 300 Seed Fund (2021) success, Dr. Alicia An’s team, including Dr. Jiaxin Guo (Postdoc), Dr. Pak Wai Wong (Postdoc) and Mr. Jiawei Sun (PhD) shone in the HKSTP Incubation Programme (2023)
According to metrics compiled by Stanford University and the updated data published on 10 October 2022, eighteen faculty members of the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) are listed among the top 2% of the world’s most highly cited scientists (i.e., top 2% in the world in their own areas of specialty), that equates to around 50% of the School’s entire faculty body. This exciting news reflects our faculty’s high academic standards and excellent research performance. This year’s 18 top 2% scientists from SEE are, in alphabetical order, Dr.
