Welcome to the Lu Lab!
We are an inorganic chemistry lab located in the Department of Chemistry, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Hong Kong. We work on solid state materials and nanomaterials. We aim to combine our expertise in inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, and physical chemistry to address fundamental questions related to energy conversion, catalysis, and sustainability.

News:
- 10/2021: Our group was awarded the HKUST–SJTU Joint Research Collaboration Fund to develop chiral metal-halide semiconductors for next-generation photonic applications, in collaboration with Prof. Chun-Chao Chen from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).
- 08/2021: Postdoc Tanglue Feng (from Jilin University) and three first-year postgraduate students Qinxuan Cao (from Zhejiang University), Zhongwei Chen (from SUSTech) and Zixuan Zhang (from PolyU) joined the group. Welcome!
- 07/2021: Our research group was awarded Early Career Scheme (ECS) grant. We thank Research Grants Council (RGC) Hong Kong for funding!
- 04/2021: Paper published in ACS Nano. We showed that chiral copper chloride-carbon nanotube heterojunction can be used for direct circular polarized light detection.
- 03/2021: Haipeng's postdoc work in collaboration with Young-Hoon and Yaxin is now published in Science. We showed that chiral-induced spin selectivity in chiral 2D perovskites can enable room-temperature spin-LED without any magnetic field or ferromagnetic materials, another great example to show how fundamental studies can bring in new applications!
- 03/2021: Haipeng's postdoc work in collaboration with Eric Amerling is now published in ACS Energy Lett. We provide a comprehensive perspective on the electronic doping of metal halide perovskite semiconductors.
- 02/2021: MSc students Jie XUE and Zhiyu WANG joined the group to conduct their Analytical Research projects. Welcome!
- 01/2021: Haipeng's postdoc work in collaboration with Fei Zhang is now published in Chem. Check out how new crystal chemistry can help to improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.
- 12/2020: Haipeng's postdoc work in collaboration with Jingying Wang is now published in ACS Nano. We show that chiral-induced spin selectivity in chiral 2D perovskites can enable spin-dependent photovoltaic devices.
- 12/2020: Haipeng is moving to The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Department of Chemistry as an assistant professor. The Lu group will focus on the development of new functional hybrid and nanomaterials for renewable energy and catalysis. Several postgraduate student and postdoc positions are available. Undergraduate students and visiting scholars are also welcomed. Please send CV to haipenglu@ust.hk.
