The PTB7 ammonia sensing element doped with the P-type dopant F4-TCNQ has a nearly two orders higher working current than the undoped element due to the improvement of hole mobility and the reduction of the energy barrier of carrier injection. The current variation of sensing ammonia is also twenty times greater than before doping.

In recent years, the population of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the world has increased rapidly due to the coming of aging society. The risk of death and the need of patient care for CKD patients is considerably high, so it is expected that as the number of CKD patients increases, the cost and burden on medical resources will also be inevitably high . Therefore, CKD screening especially for ear...

Prof. Hsiao-Wen Zan' team of NYCU develops a biomedical breathing sensing system that can be used as rapid tests for high-risk people of chronic kidney disease and the evaluation of dialysis efficacy.

Among the world, about 11% population has chronic kidney disease (CKD). In Taiwan, the increase rate of dialysis patients (end-stage of CKD) is the highest in the world. For dialysis patients, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is the key parameter for doctor to determine the dialysis efficacy and the nutritional intake condition. However, through blood examination, BUN can not be obtained very frequently....

Cerebrovascular diseases take away an average of over 10000 lives annually, even if patients with cerebral apoplexy survive, there are always sequelae caused by various degrees of nerve injuries leading to physical disability. What’s more, as muscular atrophy or functional degeneration occur easily to patients because of a long-time lack of exercises, they need to accept a long-term rehabilitation...

In response to global warming and extreme climate change crisis, wide-spread use of green energy has become an urgent task. Since the products on the market are dominated by single polycrystalline silicon solar cells, the power generation efficiency is around 20-25%. Also, the power generation cost per watt is less than 1 US dollar. However, current outdoor solar power generation requires high-rel...

Smart Contact lens to Diagnose Eye Disease

A team in Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Chao Tung University (NCTU) has successfully invented a smart contact lens to help doctors diagnose eye diseases such as Dry Eye Syndrome (DES). The lens will go through the clinical test in 2020. Google had carried out a similar project, but it was terminated in 2018. Therefore, the research of NCTU is world-leading. Other than eye disease...

Prof. F. C. Chen leads the research team from National Chiao Tung University find bandgap engineering can improve the performance of perovskite solar cells for indoor photovoltaic applications

Prof. Fang-Chung Chen and his research team calculate the Shockley-Queisser limits under indoor light sources and reveal an unusual bandgap (Eg) zone, in which the dependence of the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) on the value of Eg under illumination from the indoor lighting sources exhibited different trends from that under solar irradiation; this result runs counter to a common intuition. ...
