Brief Introduction

The Environment Functional Materials Division addresses the major strategic needs of the nation in environmental protection and sustainable development by creating novel materials for water purification and environmentally friendly, lead-free electronic materials to minimize and remove pollutants in water. Through basic research and development, we hope to provide a scientific basis for critical material techniques and stimulate new technological developments for related industries.
