Continuously tune the work function of conductors in a wide range for the first time. Ouyang Jianyong and his team developed a novel method to continuously tune the work function of ITO, Ag, Au, PEDOT:PSS and rGO in a wide range by using controlling the ratio of Cu2+ to poly(amido amine) (generation 3) (PAMAM). The

Professor Shih Choon Fong, NUS University Professor and former NUS President, has been awarded the Centennial Medal by Harvard University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) for his innovative research and leadership in higher education.

A/Prof Tan Swee Ching and his team have successfully developed a new method of optically manipulating metal work function. Work function of a material is typically known to be independent of light intensity based on our present understanding. However, the team has discovered a special case where there is a ‘light-intensity dependent’ change in work

A Mechanoresponsive Phase-Changing Electrolyte Enables Fabrication of High-Output Solid-State Photobioelectrochemical Devices from Pigment-Protein Multilayers. Natural photosynthetic proteins have many attractions as materials for new solar technologies but they also have limitations in terms of stability. Solid state architectures have the potential to overcome these limitations but it had been challenging to fabricate effective interfaces with
