This month (June 2, 2025), Prof. Ching-Wei Tung from our department, in collaboration with a research team from National Taiwan University, published a significant research achievement in the prestigious international journal Nature Sustainability (IF 26.2).
The team successfully developed a bimetallic iron molecular electrocatalyst designed through a spin-crossover-driven dimerization strategy. This catalyst exhibited low overpotential, high turnover frequency (TOF), and excellent long-term stability in water-splitting hydrogen evolution reactions.
This breakthrough not only advances the theoretical foundation of molecular catalyst design but also provides a key synthetic direction for the development of efficient and sustainable hydrogen production materials—injecting new momentum into future hydrogen energy applications and net-zero carbon energy systems.
