Green synthesis of FNCPs-doped TiO2 for Air Purification FNCPs 摻雜二氧化鈦的綠色合成用於空氣淨化
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is recognized for its brightness, high refractive index, and exceptional light scattering properties. It stands out as one of the most extensively utilized white pigments. It has been extensively researched for its photocatalytic air-purification properties, particularly under UV light irradiation. However, natural sunlight contains minimal UV radiation, rendering TiO2- based photocatalysts potentially ineffective in indoor settings with low UV light levels. Additionally, it suffers from charge recombination which further decreases its efficiency as photocatalyst

The Essential Role of Hydrogen in the Phosphorization Synthesis of Molybdenum Phosphide (MoP)
This research investigates the synthesis of molybdenum phosphide (MoP), a material valued for catalytic and energy applications. Obtaining phase-pure MoP is challenging due to competing byproducts such as MoO₂, MoP₂, and MoOPO₄. Alternative reducing agents like ethylene glycol and urea failed to produce MoP, with XRD revealing persistent byproduct phases. Successful synthesis was only achieved by reintroducing hydrogen, confirming its critical role in complete reduction. Principal component analysis (PCA) of XRD patterns further demonstrated its usefulness as a rapid screening tool for phase identification.

Upcycling Industrial waste: clay, plastic and construction waste based slurry for 3D printing 升級改造工業廢棄物：用於 3D 列印的黏土、塑膠和建築廢棄物漿料
Upcycling is the approach of transforming waste or used materials into something new and useful, thus giving it a fresh lease of life. As opposed to recycling, upcycling does not need to chemically break down the material first. Upcycling reduces waste, conserves resources, and improves life cycle embodied carbon of products. The construction industry is a major generator of waste and pollution, with construction and demolition waste (C&DW) being the largest waste stream by volume and weight in many regions.

Evaluating Deep Learning Models for Hyperlocal Solar Irradiance Forecasting: A Performance Comparison
Photovoltaic (PV) systems, particularly in areas undergoing rapid renewable energy transition. This study tackles the issue of solar irradiance variability by developing and assessing advanced deep learning models tailored for high-resolution, site-specific forecasting. Our research focuses specifically on a 2x2 km grid covering Tunghai University Second Campus Area. This region is a crucial area for energy consumption and pioneering sustainability efforts, including Tunghai University's commitment to a "Smart Carbon Neutrality Zone," making precise solar predictions essential for optimizing energy use, managing distributed generation, and supporting grid operations. This project utilized a comprehensive time-series dataset from the National Solar Radiation

Transparent wood as a Potential Construction Material: Exploring Opportunities of Indoor Air Purification and Building Integrated Photovoltaics
NSTC 112-2813-C-029-020-M
Natural wood serves as an environmentally friendly and sustainable resource with the potential to play a crucial role in shaping sustainable built environments for the future. It offers an opportunity to reduce the embodied energy of buildings. Recent advancements in nanotechnologies are addressing the inherent limitations of wood as a building material. Through chemical or physical manipulation of wood's microstructure, additional functionalities can be introduced, expanding its range of applications. One innovative approach involves removing light-absorbing lignin from natural wood and infusing the resulting structure with a transparent polymer.

The Synthesis and Application of MXene Electrocatalysts in Hydrogen Evolution Reaction
Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysis is crucial for the efficient and scalable production of renewable hydrogen fuel. As research advances in nano-scale engineering, there is growing interest in the potential of MXene-based HER electrocatalysts. MXenes are a diverse class of two-dimensional nanomaterials with variations in elemental composition, surface chemistry, stoichiometry, and morphology, all of which significantly impact their electrocatalytic performance.
