JOHOR BAHRU, 2 October 2026<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 The Faculty of Science, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), congratulates <\/span>ChM. Dr. Nurul Nabila Rosman<\/span><\/strong> from the <\/span>Department of Chemistry<\/span><\/strong> for successfully securing the <\/span>Geran Penyelidik Baharu<\/span><\/strong>, with research funding of <\/span>RM20,000<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n The two-year project, running from <\/span>1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028<\/span><\/strong>, is entitled <\/span>\u201cInterfacial Charge Transfer Modulation ZnO Photoelectrodes Using Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Quantum Dots for Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The research focuses on improving <\/span>zinc oxide (ZnO) photoelectrodes<\/span><\/strong> by incorporating nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots to enhance the movement of electrical charges generated when the material is exposed to light.<\/span><\/p>\n In simpler terms, the project aims to develop <\/span>more efficient light-responsive materials for splitting water using solar energy<\/span><\/strong>, an important process with potential applications in clean hydrogen production.<\/span><\/p>\n By improving charge transfer at the material interface, the research seeks to overcome one of the key limitations affecting the efficiency of photoelectrochemical water splitting. The findings could provide a foundation for the development of more effective materials for <\/span>solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n The project highlights the contribution of chemistry and materials research to emerging <\/span>clean energy and green hydrogen technologies<\/span><\/strong>. It also complements ongoing research within the Faculty of Science aimed at developing sustainable solutions for future energy needs.<\/span><\/p>\n The research aligns with the aspirations of <\/span>UTM ASCEND 2030<\/span><\/strong> by supporting young researchers, strengthening fundamental research capabilities and advancing science with potential environmental and societal impact.<\/span><\/p>\n The Faculty of Science congratulates ChM. Dr. Nurul Nabila Rosman on securing the grant and wishes her and her research team every success in implementing the project.<\/span><\/p>\n Congratulations on this research achievement!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n #UTM #UTMScience #FacultyOfScience #UTMFSResearch #GeranPenyelidikBaharu #Chemistry #WaterSplitting #GreenHydrogen #CleanEnergy #Photoelectrochemistry #UTMASCEND2030<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″ theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/science.utm.my\/utmfsresearch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/642\/2026\/10\/ChatGPT-Image-Oct-2-2026-05_09_00-PM.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” title_text=”ChatGPT Image Oct 2, 2026, 05_09_00 PM” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" JOHOR BAHRU, 2 October 2026 \u2013 The Faculty of Science, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), congratulates ChM.
