Low-cost and High-precision Nano Chips for Effective Detection of Harmful Substances

Professor Wang Jianfang, along with his outstanding research team, have developed a remarkably low-cost, precise and efficient nano chip for Raman spectroscopy, which allowed effective and accurate detection of harmful substances in food, including but not limited to malachite green, melamine as well as a wide variety of harmful pesticides and additives. This significant intellectual breakthrough was necessary for safeguarding food safety, one of the most pressing issue in the world.

In addition, the team combined metal nanoparticles with Vanadium dioxide (VO2) to develop transparent substrates, which controlled the transmission of near-infrared radiation (NIR). These substrates were highly favourable for the construction of smart windows with a wide variety of applications and the frequency of using air-conditioning was in a hope of being minimized.
