2. Perovskite Solar Panel

The panels are fabricated using nano-level thin film coating and formation technologies in a clean room environment, integrated with various types of nano particles in the coating materials. The capabilities can also support boarder research and development in electronics and semiconductor industries.

3. Transparent Anti-Bacteria and Virus Film

This film is made using a complex structural coating technique combined with specialized copper nanoparticles. It is ideal for use on frequently touched surfaces where hygiene is crucial, such as elevator buttons, computer mouse buttons, and self-service kiosk buttons.

4. Radiative Cooling Paint

A specially formulated paint containing micro- and nano-particles, developed in-house by the research team. It is applied to building exteriors and residential homes to reduce solar heat gain and promote energy savings by reducing air conditioning usage.

5. Light-to-Heat Conversion Coating

This coating is synthesized using graphene and nano silica through a unique process, designed for solar thermal applications. When applied to solar absorber tubes, it can generate heat exceeding 400°C—perfect for use in solar steam power generation combined with solar concentration technology.
