無金屬催化開創潔淨能源新可能：Markus Antonietti 教授展示氮化碳材料創新應用

2026年10月8日，德國馬克斯・普朗克膠體與界面研究所（Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces）Markus ANTONIETTI 教授應邀主講理大高等研究院講座，題為「新型改質碳氮化物及其在人工光合作用與光電化學中的應用」。活動吸引逾130位人士現場出席，並於多個社交媒體平台錄得超過14,000人次在線觀看。

講座中，Antonietti 教授以「太陽光學之父」賈科莫・路易吉・恰米奇安（Giacomo Luigi Ciamician）提出的光化學願景及歌德《浮士德》的哲學隱喻為引，闡述先進氮化碳材料在潔淨能源技術領域的變革性潛力。他介紹如何透過精準調控材料結構，將這類材料的最高佔據分子軌域（Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital ，HOMO）能階提升至 +2.5 V，從而在化學催化、電催化及光催化中展現出卓越的氧化能力。他亦強調，隨著有機催化劑的發展，高效催化未必依賴貴金屬，即使在極少甚至完全不依賴貴金屬的情況下，依然取得理想成效。

在展示多項突破性研究成果時，Antonietti 教授重點介紹了表觀量子效率（Apparent Quantum Efficiency，AQE）超過 0.6 的人工光合作用系統。他探討了光泵浦（photopumping）及滲透能發電等前沿領域，並提出嶄新的能源轉換概念：水不再只是被動的反應介質，而是半導體系統及能量轉換過程中發揮關鍵作用的組成部分。

Antonietti 教授在總結時強調，運用尖端分析技術對模型系統進行深入硏究，是解構複雜反應機制的重要途徑。研究成果不僅為綠色光電化學的未來發展帶來開拓新方向，亦彰顯無金屬聚合物半導體作為下一代太陽能驅動技術核心材料的發展潛力，為推動相關技術邁向規模化應用奠定基礎。

講座尾聲的問答環節由理大能源材料講座教授王連洲教授主持，與會者與 Antonietti 教授進行了深入而精彩的學術交流。

Metal-free catalysis opens new possibilities for clean energy: Prof. Markus ANTONIETTI on novel applications of carbon nitride materials

On 8 October 2026, Prof. Markus ANTONIETTI of Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Germany delivered a PAIR Seminar titled “New Modifications of Carbon Nitrides and Their Use in Artificial Photosynthesis and Photoelectrochemistry”. The event attracted over 130 onsite participants and about 14,000 online viewers across social media platforms.

Drawing on the photochemical vision of Giacomo Luigi Ciamician, the father of photochemistry, and the philosophical imagery of Goethe’s Faust, Prof. Antonietti explored the transformative potential of advanced carbon nitrides in clean energy technologies. He explained how precise control of material structures can raise the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level of these materials to +2.5 V, enabling powerful oxidation capabilities across chemo-, electro-, and photocatalysis. He also underscored that advances in organic catalysts have demonstrated that highly efficient catalysis can be achieved with little or no reliance on precious metals.

Highlighting a series of research breakthroughs, Prof. Antonietti showcased artificial photosynthetic systems achieving an apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) exceeding 0.6. He also explored frontier areas, including photopumping and osmotic power generation, revealing a paradigm in which water acts not merely as a passive medium but as an active component in semiconductor systems and energy-conversion processes.

Concluding the seminar, Prof. Antonietti emphasised the importance of applying sophisticated analytical techniques to model systems and gain deeper insight into complex reaction mechanisms. The findings not only offer a roadmap for the future of green photoelectrochemistry, but also demonstrate the potential of metal-free polymeric semiconductors as core materials for next-generation solar-driven technologies and their prospects for large-scale application.

The seminar concluded with an engaging Q&A session moderated by Prof. WANG Lianzhou, Chair Professor of Energy Materials at PolyU, during which participants engaged in lively and insightful discussions with Prof. Antonietti.

For thousands of years, engineering has transformed civilisation by expanding the boundaries of human imagination and capability. From the intuitive craftsmanship of ancient marvels, through the analytical foundations of the Industrial Revolution, to the computational power of the modern era, each epoch has fundamentally enlarged our creative potential. Today, artificial intelligence signals another profound transition, interpreting intent, generating alternatives, orchestrating tools, and learning from results to reshape the very way we design and build.

In this lecture, Prof. Ming Zhou will explore how agentic AI is set to redefine the landscape of engineering. As knowledge becomes executable and technical capability increasingly accessible, the frontier is shifting from ex*****on towards framing meaningful problems, exercising human judgement, and envisioning possibilities once far beyond our reach. Drawing on his path through academia, transformative research, and industrial application, Prof. Zhou will also reflect on the intertwined pursuits of learning, research, innovation, and life across a career.

Join us for a compelling lecture on how these emerging technologies are amplifying human ingenuity and paving the way for a new paradigm of AI-driven engineering and design.

香港航運轉型路向：黎基雄教授提出四大發展重點

香港理工大學環境，社會，和治理促進研究中心聯席主任、物流及航運學系系主任、航運及物流講座教授黎基雄教授，日前於《文匯報》撰文指出，香港應全面推動航運「數字化、智能化與綠色化」，確立由傳統「貨櫃港」轉型為高增值「價值港」的發展方向。

黎教授表示，面對日益激烈的國際競爭，香港不應再單純比拼吞吐量，而應善用「一國兩制」、普通法及金融體系優勢，聚焦海事融資、保險、法律及仲裁等高增值服務，並與大灣區港口實現優勢互補，從單純的「貨物中轉站」躍升為「跨境貿易的價值創造者」。

黎教授續指，落實航運轉型藍圖需聚焦以下四項重點工作：

1. 整合服務機制：建立服務清單及個案協調機制，提供一站式海事支援服務。
2. 深化灣區協作：加強業務對接，推動江海聯運時效承諾，以及數據互聯互通和互認。
3. 開拓綠色金融：搭建試驗場景，推進減碳核算，以及新能源船舶融資和保險服務。
4. 培育海事科技：立足北部都會區及河套地區，打造「研發在港、試驗在灣區、服務全球」的創科生態。

黎教授總結表示，香港的核心競爭力在於連接國際標準與跨界專業。通過構建全方位的海事服務生態體系，香港可進一步鞏固其國際航運中心地位，並助力國家航運產業邁向高端化發展。

Hong Kong’s maritime upgrading: Prof. Mike LAI Kee-hung outlines four key priorities

In his recent op-ed published in Wen Wei Po, Prof. Mike LAI Kee-hung, Co-Director of the Research Centre for Environmental, Social, and Governance Advancement (RCESGA), Head of the Department of Logistics and Maritime Studies, and Chair Professor of Shipping and Logistics, argued that Hong Kong must comprehensively advance the digitalisation, smart transformation and green transition of its maritime sector, steering its evolution from a traditional “container port” into a high-value-added “value port”.

Prof. Lai noted that, amidst intensifying international competition, Hong Kong should no longer compete solely on throughput volume. Instead, the city should capitalise on its distinctive advantages under “One Country, Two Systems”, its common law framework, and its established financial ecosystem. By focusing on high value-added maritime services, including ship financing, marine insurance, maritime law and dispute arbitration, Hong Kong can create complementary synergies with ports across the Greater Bay Area (GBA), evolving from a mere “transhipment hub” into a genuine “value creator in cross-border trade”.

To realise this strategic blueprint, Prof. Lai highlighted four key priorities:

1. Integrating Service Mechanisms: Establishing a consolidated service directory and a case-coordination mechanism to deliver seamless, one-stop maritime support.
2. Deepening GBA Collaboration: Enhancing operational alignment, instituting transit-time commitments for river–sea intermodal transport, and promoting cross-boundary data interoperability and mutual recognition.
3. Pioneering Green Finance: Establishing testing and pilot scenarios to advance carbon accounting methodologies and facilitate the financing and underwriting of alternative-energy vessels.
4. Fostering Maritime Technology: Anchoring initiatives in the Northern Metropolis and the Hetao region to build an innovation ecosystem driven by the model of “R&D in Hong Kong, piloting in the GBA, and serving the global market”.

Prof. Lai concluded that Hong Kong’s core competitive edge lies in its capacity to align international standards with cross-disciplinary expertise. By developing a comprehensive maritime services ecosystem, Hong Kong can further strengthen its position as an international maritime centre while supporting the nation’s maritime industry in advancing towards high-end development.
