Electrochemistry and Microscopy Laboratory
Research Field
Peng-Wei Chu (朱鵬維) received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in 2017. After working in the Pathfinding team of TSMC as a Principal Engineer briefly for two years, he joined the Department of Engineering and System Science at National Tsing Hua University as an Assistant Professor in 2020. Peng-Wei's research mainly focused on the electrochemical behavior of metals and alloys from microstructural perspectives, ranging from corrosion, oxidation, surface treatments, to battery electrodes. Peng-Wei also has expertise in a variety of materials characterization techniques, including, but not limited to, SEM/FIB, TEM, XRD, XPS, and Atom Probe Tomography (APT).
In our group, we study the electrochemical responses of metals and alloys through combinations of electrochemical analysis and microstructure characterizations. This allows us to explore the electrochemistry of metals and alloys from microscopic aspects and develop next-generation materials from tunable corrosion-resistant alloys to battery electrodes.
