RESEARCH INTEREST

Our work has capitalized on our expertise in environmental engineering, electrochemistry, and microbiology for the improved convergence technology of ENERGY and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE for WATER APPLICATIONS. A red line through all my efforts so far was the practical adaptation of nanotechnology, materials science and process engineering, by also addressing issues like scalability and cost efficiency. We believe we can contribute to making better success for production of CLEAN WATER and RESOURCE RECOVERY with these diverse experiences.

ELECTROCHEMICAL ADVANCED OXIDATION PROCESS (EAOP)

Research | 01

Fabrication of Advanced Nano-structural Oxidant-generating Electrode

Our mission is to fabricate a simple, cost-effective method to fabricate self-doped TiO2 (denoted as blue and black colored TiO2 NTA) as an anodic material in the production of oxidants, which has never been successfully achieved before with titanium.

Novel Cell Architecture: Multi-channel Membrane CDI

We develop a novel hybrid electrode with metal oxide and carbon material for CDI and new CDI cell architecture using multi-channel and ion exchange membranes, which is multi-channel membrane flow‐stream capacitive deionization (MC‐MCDI). This electrodes and MC-MCDI cell lead to the notable enhancement of desalination capacity.

Redox Flow Deionization (RFD)

Research | 03

Redox mediated Ion Separation:

As the demand for Water and resource is rapidly increasing, the electrochemical water and resource recovery system has been widely studied due to its fast, energy-efficient, and highly selective recovery process.

Hence, we propose an innovative electrochemical system, called the redox-mediated Ion Separation system, to effectively recover water and resources through the enrichment of the feed solution via a sustainable redox reaction.
