Global warming has compelled humanity to consume increasing amounts of energy to maintain a comfortable lifestyle; however, these activities also negatively impact the environment. Therefore, our laboratory is developing near-zero-energy temperature control technologies that integrate thermophonic principles, designing subwavelength-structured materials to optimize the photothermal properties of buildings and systems. We aim to capture photothermal energy from natural and industrial waste sources, enabling environmentally friendly energy storage and regulation. Through this research, we strive to promote energy conservation, carbon reduction, and sustainable development, fostering a harmonious coexistence between humanity and the environment. Additionally, our lab is advancing low-loss, fast, and reliable infrared detection technologies for application in optical communication bands, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), thermal imaging analysis, environmental sensing, and related fields. Furthermore, we are committed to developing rapid, non-destructive optical detection techniques for van der Waals two-dimensional thin-film materials and III-V semiconductor thin-film heterojunctions, which hold great potential for next-generation semiconductor device development. This multifaceted approach aims not only to address current energy challenges but also to contribute to advancements in semiconductor technology, enhancing both environmental sustainability and technological progress.
