For the first time, we demonstrate the hybrid integration of dual distributed feedback (DFB) quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) on a silicon photonics platform using an innovative 3D self-aligned flip-chip assembly process. The QCL waveguide geometry was predesigned with alignment fiducials, enabling a sub-micron accuracy during assembly. Laser oscillat...
The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are fundamental processes in a range of energy conversion devices such as fuel cells and metal-air batteries. ORR and OER both have significant activation barriers, which severely limit the overall performance of energy conversion devices that utilize ORR/OER. M...

Anode-supported proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (PC-SOFCs) fabricated with two representative proton-conducting oxides, BaCe0.7Zr0.1Y0.1Yb0.1O3-δ (BCZYYb) and BaZr0.8Y0.2O3-δ (BZY), were compared to obtain the insight into the electrochemical performances when fueled with syngas at 700°C and the correlation between the anode thickness (0.4...
In this research, a mini-scale air purifier (AP) system was built with a series of honeycomb (HC) ceramic filters coated with 1 wt% Pt@Cu/TiO2 (AP (PCT-x), where x = 1, 2, and 3 for Pt:Cu weight ratios). The designed AP (PCT-x) photocatalytic systems were investigated for the removal of formaldehyde (FA) vapor under varying operational conditions (...
Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) combining the virtues of porous fillers with polymeric matrices have been widely investigated due to their potential to overcome the permeability-selectivity trade-off. However, the compatibility issues at the organic/inorganic interface have barred their large-scale applications. With the rapid advances in chemistry a...
