Professor Wong is also Director of the State Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery at PolyU.

主讲内容：In the past two decades, the surface plasmon resonance of plasmonic metal nanoparticles has been investigated to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic processes. The photocatalytic production of fuels is particularly interesting for its ability to store the sun's energy in chemical bonds that can be released later without producing harmful byproducts. More recently, much interest has been devoted to the dipole-dipole coupling between localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of plasmonic metal nanoparticles and bio-molecules located nearby, giving rise to a variety of phenomena such as plasmon-enhanced circular dichroism (CD). Thus, the combination of chiral bio-molecules with a weak CD response and achiral plasmonic nanomaterials can give rise to a hybrid nanostructure with enhanced and tailored chiroptical properties. These chiral plasmonic nanostructures can be created through the synthesis of particles with chiral morphology or by assembling achiral plasmonic nanoparticles into chiral configurations. Particularly interesting are the light-manipulating capabilities that chiral nanomaterials can offer in enantioselective-based sensing and recognition.
