ABSTRACT: Nano-structured and hierarchically structured materials play a vital role in electrochemical power source technologies: batteries, super capacitors and fuel cells. They are becoming increasingly important in electrochemical synthesis technologies such as electrolysis, photolysis, CO2 electro-reduction and production of value added chemicals.
ABSTRACT: Radiocesium (Cs) removal from tap waters was an emerging issue after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Disaster, during which a total of approximately 3.3×1016 Bq Cs was released to the environment. Radioactive fallout can lead to contaminated surface water and/or groundwater, eventually will enter drinking water production chain. Radioactivity in drinking water, even at low levels, can be harmful since the radiocesium can be bioaccumulated in body.
ABSTRACT: Tailor-made nanosystem refers the integration of different components/materials at nanoscale which can show multi-functional and unique properties. Rational design and fabrication of such hetero-nanostructures are vital to break the boundaries of traditional technologies. One of Dr. Jin Zhang’s research interests lies in producing magnetic and optical hetero-nanostructures which show distinguish properties, and have been applied in various devices, e.g. data storage, sensors, etc.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
