Professor Wang Tuo of the School of Chemical Engineering of Tianjin University won the 17th China Youth Science and Technology Award

On November 12, at the opening ceremony of the 2022 World Young Scientists Summit, the 17th China Youth Science and Technology Award was announced and the award ceremony was held, and Professor Wang Tuo of the School of Chemical Engineering of Tianjin University won the award
.

Wang Tuo, a professor at the School of Chemical Engineering of Tianjin University, carried out the design and development of thin film deposition systems around "vapor deposition of thin films", and applied them to chip manufacturing and photolysis water hydrogen production systems
.
The use of dense protective layer film solves the problem of balancing the activity and stability of photolyzed water electrode.
High-quality passivation layer was deposited to construct efficient charge transport channels between interfaces.
The amplification effect of the deposition reactor is eliminated, and the modular amplification
of industrial-size thin film electrodes is realized.
He has published more than 110 SCI papers, cited more than 8,300 times by SCI source journals, and won the second prize of National Natural Science Award (ranked 5) in 2019 and the Hou Debang Chemical Science and Technology Youth Award
.

Established in 1987, the China Youth Science and Technology Award is an award
for young scientific and technological workers across the country.
The award was proposed by Qian Xuesen and other scientists of the older generation, and jointly established and organized and implemented by the Organization Department of the Central Committee, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the China Association for Science and Technology, aiming to cultivate a group of young academic and technical leaders who have entered the forefront of science and technology in the world; Commendations and awards young scientific and technological talents
who have made outstanding achievements in national economic development, social progress and scientific and technological innovation.
The China Youth Science and Technology Award is selected every two years, with no more than 100 commendations per session, and no more than 10 winners of the China Youth Science and Technology Award Special Award will be selected from the current winners
