1. Hydrovoltaic materials and devices
We aim to explore the mechanism of the evaporation-induced hydrovoltaic effect, achieve more efficient hydrovoltaic devices, and develop their cross-applications in power generation, refrigeration, and water purification.
2. Nano-intelligent building materials and devices (smart coatings, smart windows, smart textiles)
We aim to design nano-intelligent building materials with better performance, break through the bottleneck of traditional devices, and obtain high-efficiency, economical, and durable devices (smart coatings, smart windows, smart textiles), and help to realize zero-energy buildings.
