Research

Updated on February 18, 2004


Our research interests include development of advanced electrochemical devices and materials, e.g., biosensors, biocatalysts, photocatalysts, photochromic materials, photoelectrochemical devices, and machanoelectrochemical devices.


1. Bioelectrochemistry

a. Biosensors based on enzymes for environmental, food, and clinical applications

b. Biosensors based on living cells for screening of chemicals

c. Biocatalysts responsive to environments


2. Photoelectrochemistry

a. Multi-color photochromic materials based on semiconductor films loaded with metal nanoparticles

b. Plasmon photoelectrochemical devices including novel photovoltaic cells and photosensors

c. Photocatalysts with energy storage abilities for anti-corrosion and anti-bacterial coatings

d. Surface modification and patterning techniques based on photocatalysts (e.g., photocatalytic lithography)


3. Mechanoelectrochemistry

a. Electrochemomechanical devices including gel actuators

b. Mechanoelectrochemical devices including mechanocells
