As an Assistant Professor at the Department of Greenergy, National University of Tainan, I would like to extend my sincerest invitation to you, prospective members of the “Advanced Hydrogen Energy Laboratory”, which is dedicated to the exploration of intriguing chemical phenomena in four key areas as follows:

1. Catalyzing materials:

Our research in this field focuses on the design and synthesis of highly active catalysts that serve to accelerate chemical reactions in hydrogen-generating processes, thereby improving industrial efficiency and sustainability.

2. Bioenergy:

Here, we study biomass in various phases -- solid, liquid, and gaseous – as samples of which are obtained through thermal treatment.  The goal is to turn such products into industrially useful substances.

3. The recovery and recycling of industrial waste heat:

We are committed to developing devices that recover industrial waste heat and put the energy contained therein into practical use, such as thermoelectric generation, thereby contributing to curbing greenhouse gas emissions.

4. Chemical synthesis:

We strive to increase the overall efficiency and stability of fuel cells by chemically synthesizing or modifying catalyzing materials and gas diffusion layers (GDL) employed therein.

In addition to these research areas, our lab integrates the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions, with the ultimate goal of achieving net-zero emissions. This holistic approach ensures that our research not only leads to technological advancements but also promotes environmental sustainability. We welcome all who are interested in joining us on this exciting journey of discovery and innovation.
