Dr. Jason Lam’s paper titled “The Structural Phase Effect of MoS2 in Controlling the Reaction Selectivity between Electrocatalytic Hydrogenation and Dimerization of Furfural” has been published in ACS Catalysis (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.2c02137) and featured as the front cover article in Issue 18, Volume 12.
Out of 208 projects from 23 countries and regions, Dr. Denis Yu’s innovation on a new kind of battery, a dual-ion battery (DIB), has earned him a top 20 spot in the Tera-Award Smart Energy Innovation Competition, a smart energy innovation competition jointly organised by The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) and State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) under the theme of “exploring zero-carbon innovations for the future”.
Dr. Sam Hsu’s paper titled “Bandgap Funneling in Bismuth-Based Hybrid Perovskite photocatalyst with efficient Visible-Light-Driven Hydrogen Evolution” has been published (IF: 15.367; DOI: 10.1002/smtd.202200326) and featured as the back cover in Small Methods.
Dr. Sam HSU received about HK$2.5M funding together with over HK$3M Research Talent Hub (RTH) from the Mainland-Hong Kong Joint Funding Scheme (MHKJFS) launched by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and the Innovation and Technology Commission (ITC). MHKJFS aims to support research and development (R&D) collaboration among universities, research institutes, and technology enterprises in Hong Kong and the Mainland. This two-year project will focus on the development of large-area, high-performing, and stable perovskite light-emitting didoes.
