Efficient heat dissipation by ion-mediation assembled reduced graphene oxide
A clear solution for efficient thermal management of light emitting diodes (LEDs) is elusive, which is critical for general purpose lighting. Here, a hierarchical porous structure of reduced graphene oxide…
Synthesis of a Carbonaceous Two-Dimensional Material
Despite tremendous accomplishments achieved in 2D materials, little progress has been made in carbonaceous 2D materials beyond graphene and graphene oxide. Here, we report a 2D material of carbonaceous nanoplates…
High Power Density Electrochemical Thermocells for Inexpensively Harvesting Low‐Grade Thermal Energy
The transition from a world that largely depends upon fossil fuels to one that widely utilises sustainable energy requires the development of cheaper and more powerful energy-harvesting technologies. The efficient…
High-Performance Field Emission from a Carbonized Cork
To broaden the range of application of electron beams, low-power field emitters are needed that are miniature and light. Here, we introduce carbonized cork as a material for field emitters.…
An efficient reduced graphene-oxide filter for PM2.5 removal
Air pollution has a considerable impact on human beings among environmental problems. In particular, particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM2.5) is the biggest problem that threatens human…
Renewable Energy Lab.
Our lab is focused on developing an advanced device to harvest thermal and mechanical energy released from everyday life . Research areas of the lab include (1) waste heat energy harvesting, (2) mechanical energy harvesting (self-powered sensor), and (3) environmental technology.
