Research Interests:

     Our research interest mainly involves the development of chemical sensors to solve major analytical problems in environmental and clinical aspects. The purpose of the research is aimed at the enhancement of selectivity and sensitivity for analysis and monitoring of pollutants and analytes using novel chemically modified electrodes. Meanwhile, a thoroughly kinetics and mechanism study for those systems that are verified in analytical application is another major research interest. Recently, our group is also interest in developing a process based on clay-modified electrode for the conversion of solar energy into electricity.
