DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED BIOLOGY & CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY 55 Email wai-yeung.wong@polyu.edu.hk Qualification BSc (The University of Hong Kong) PhD (The University of Hong Kong) Postdoc (Texas A&M University; University of Cambridge) ORCID ID 0000-0002-9949-7525 Prof. WONG Wai-yeung Raymond Clarea Au Professor in Energy Chair Professor of Chemical Technology Dean of Faculty of Science Research Overview The research of Prof. Wong focuses on the design and synthesis of molecular functional materials and metallopolymers (1D and 2D) with photofunctional properties and energy functions. His work ranges from innovative basic research to application studies. Currently, his team aims at developing sustainable energy sources and improving the technologies for energy conversions in order to meet the world’s future energy demand while working towards a cleaner environment. The materials developed have wide applications as sensors and nonlinear optical materials, as converters for light/electricity signals in organic solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes, as energy storage materials, and as patternable precursors to magnetic metal alloy nanoparticles for magnetic data storage.
