Research Highlights
HASIN SEEKS TO DISCOVER NEW WAYS TO CONVERT & STORE RENEWABLE ENERGY USING INORGANIC NANOPARTICLE/CARBON COMPOSITE ELECTROCATALYSTS AS ELECTRODE MATERIALS.
“The amount of sunlight that strikes the earth's surface in an hour is about 4.3 × 1020 J and a half is enough to produce energy in order to power all human activities on Earth for a full year. Despite the fact of the steady scientific progress forrenewable energy advances, the devices for the conversion & storage of this energy have remained technically elusive in terms of efficiency. The design of highly efficient electrocatalysts that catalyze electrochemical reactions occurring in the energy conversion & storage devices is both a formidable challenge and an opportunity that, if realized, could have a revolutionary impact on our energy system.
In the past years, Hasin’s research group has made steady progress towards basic problems of electrocatalysis of reactions occurring in dye-sensitized solar cells, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and Li-ion batteries, while discovering inorganic nanoparticle/carbon composite electrocatalysts for use as the electrode materials that are both efficient and robust. Technological development and success in this area could drive a revolution in the way that electrocatalysts for the electrode materials can be well designed for producing scientific breakthroughs that could dramatically advance renewable energy systems.”

Synthetic Inorganic Nanomaterials, Dye-sensitized Solar Cells, Flavor Sensing
Our research involves carbon-based materials with conducting and electrocatalytic properties. Our current focuses are dye-sensitized solar cells and flavor sensors. The carbon-based materials we synthesize include both ordered and hierarchical hollow mesoporous carbons with properties such as superior electrocatalytic activity, high electrical conductivity, low charge transfer resistance, and good stability.We also dope the carbon matrix with heteroatom or transition metal and characterize these by measuring properties such as electrical conductivity, electrocatalytic activity, charge transfer during electrolyte-electrode interaction process, and surface hydrophilicity. The prepared carbon-based materials are then used as the functional electronic materials for widespread application in areas such as dye-sensitized solar cells and flavor sensors. Such materials and devices have the potential to be simpler fabrication procedures, lower cost, more transparency and environmentally benign as well as higher efficiency in comparison with conventional semiconductor technology.
We utilize deep knowledge in topics of chemistry/materials science and engineering and also use advanced materials characterization techniques to design and develop new materials including devices, explore powerful characterization techniques, create novel processing/fabrication technologies as well as enable new applications.
We work with a range of Thailand and international collaborators in universities and research institutes for more specialist characterization of our devices. We welcome students with various backgrounds to join our group.
Research Areas
Electrocatalysts for Counter Electrode in Dye-sensitized Solar Cells
⊙ The objective of the project is to study, develop, and demonstrate the feasibility of using N-doped mesoporous carbons with immobilization of Ni or Co as the CEs in DSCs.
⊙ This project aims at the improvement of the structural characteristics of carbon material such as specific surface area, mesoporous volume, particle size uniformity, and pore size distribution (PSD) in order to make the WO2/N-HCMSC an ideal carbon electrode.
⊙ The success of the above projects would establish a new knowledge on development of carbon-base materials as the electrocatalysts for DSC application, which will benefit many applications requiring the electrocatalyts with both high electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic activity.
⊙ These projects are funded by Faculty of Science, Kasetsart University, Kasetsart University Research and Development Institute (KURDI), and The Thailand Research Fund (TRF)
Smart Spoon for Flavor Sensing
⊙ The objective of the project is to study, develop, and demonstrate the feasibility
⊙ The ultimate goal of this project is to construct a spoon consisting of mesoporous carbon electrode in order to be a versatile and mobile tool to determine the capsaicin in real food.
⊙ The constructed smart spoon is expected to be a simple, rapid, and highly sensitive quantification tool to determine capsaicin in hot pepper samples.
⊙ This project is funded by Kasetsart University Research and Development Institute (KURDI).
