Recently, programs of 2014 natural Science Foundation of china and Hubei province have been published. Two programs of Wu Wei, the deputy researcher of School of Printing are in the list. The research on construction of ferric oxide-Ag/AgX(X=Cl,Br,I) plasma resonance-type multi-component photocatalytic material and the performance and mechanism of visible light catalysis has been authorized as a program of the national natural science fund and is funded with 850000 yuan. The research on effective and orderly active SERS base constructed by ink-jet printing dual metal nanoparticles and its application has been authorized as a program of the natural science fund of Hubei province (2014CFB261) and is funded with 60000 yuan.

The first research is aimed at comprehensive ecological improvement using the plasma resounance and photosensitivity of silver halides of plate material in the traditional printing for reference. The research into photocatalytic material of Wu Wei’s research team is one of the hottest research subjects in comprehensive ecological improvement. The research patterns and functionalizes the photocatalytic material under the guidance of printing principle, and accomplish its production on a large scale with the help of high-speed printing and is applied to air cleaning. The review of the latest research of his team in this field is being examined by the international periodical—Nanoscale(the first searching zone of SCI ，IF = 6.7). And in 2014 this team has published 2 papers in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces in the first searching zone of SCI.

The latter research is going to carry out the controllable synthesis research on the appearance and partical size of the dual compound metal nanoparticles and the research on the large-scale construction of orderly, repeatable and highly active SERS base with the help of the ink-jet printing. Surface enhanced raman scattering (SERS) is a spectrum which is highly sensitive to detection and has fingerprint property, extraordinary stability and spectral resolution. Wu Wei’s team has made progress in this field and has applied for one patent in both America and china.

It is reported that the main direction of Wu Wei’s research team is printable functional nanometer material and the application of printable electronics. This team has published 6 SCI papers.
