NESE Students Publish in SCI Q1 Journal with Dr. Haw Choon Yian
2022-02-18Research Management Center congratulates Tan Kar Woon, Yap Chun Man, and Assist. Prof. Dr. Haw Choon Yian from XMUM School of Energy and Chemical Engineering for publishing a review article in Advanced Sustainable Systems, a Q1 journal with an impact factor of 6.271.
Tan Kar Woon, a master student of XMUM School of Energy Science and Chemical Engineering, is the review’s first author, while Yap Chun Man and Zheng Ziyue, from 2018/04 and 2017/09 intake respectively, have contributed to the research. Dr. Haw Choon Yian is the corresponding author of this article.
Titled “State-of-the-Art Advances, Development, and Challenges of Metal Oxide Semiconductor Nanomaterials for Photothermal Solar Steam Generation”, this review article presents a comprehensive investigation of metal oxide semiconductors as photoabsorber under two categories: monometallic oxide and mixed metallic oxide for photothermal solar steam generation (SSG) in terms of material, nano-structures, and installation.
