Recently, Jing Kejia, an undergraduate student majoring in Applied Chemistry at the School of Chemistry and Materials, published a significant research paper on formaldehyde detection as the first author in the international authoritative journal Surfaces and Interfaces. The paper, titled "UV-Assisted Tubular Ag Electrodes/Pd-TiO2 Catalytic Sensing Micro-Reactor for Room Temperature High Response and Humidity-Resistant HCHO Detection," was supervised by Professor Jiang Bo from the school.
Formaldehyde (HCHO), a toxic carcinogen widely present in industrial products and indoor environments, requires efficient and sensitive real-time detection to safeguard human health and environmental safety. Although traditional metal oxide semiconductor sensors offer advantages such as good stability and fast response, they typically operate at high temperaturesand commonly face issues like significant humidity interference and insufficient sensitivity. Under the guidance of Professor Jiang Bo, an innovative study was completed—designing and fabricating a UV-assisted tubular formaldehyde catalytic sensing micro-reactor. This research received funding and technical support from multiple high-end platforms and projects, including the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Shanghai Municipal Natural Science Foundation, as well as the Key Laboratory of Resource Chemistry under the China Ministry of Education, the International Cooperation Joint Laboratory of Resource Chemistry, the Shanghai Frontiers Science Research Base of Biomimetic Catalysis, and the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Rare Earth Functional Materials.
