Prof. Lianzhou WANG from University of Queensland was invited to attend “International Expert Forum” hosted by Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT), Chinese Academy of Sciences on May 25. A lecture named “Designing Semiconductor Metal Oxides for Photoelectrochemical Energy Conversion” was given, which mainly introduced the designed fabrication of semiconductor metal oxides in the application of photoelectrochemical energy conversion. More than 60 researchers and students attended the lecture. This forum was hosted by Prof. LU Xuefeng, Deputy Director General of QIBEBT.  

During the stay in QIBEBT, Prof. WANG exchanged his experiences with researchers in designing functional nanomaterials for energy applications. The topics also included dye-sensitized solar cells and perovskite solar cells.  

“International Expert Forum” was launched by QIBEBT from 2013 with the aim to strengthen the academic communication with well-known international scientists and improve the research and innovation expertise via international cooperation.
