Jingbo Ni

Jingbo Ni is a Research Fellow in the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience at the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Aalborg University, Denmark, based at the Section of Disordered Materials Inorganic and Hybrid Membranes (Fredrik Bajers Vej 7H, 9220 Aalborg Øst). Their research centers on advanced photocatalytic materials and membrane technologies for environmental and energy applications, with expertise in heterojunction engineering and 2D material synthesis.

Research interests focus on visible-light photocatalysis, membrane functionalization, and heterostructure design for water purification and energy conversion. Key specializations include MXene composites (Ti3C2), polymeric carbon nitride, metal sulfide/oxide heterojunctions (In2S3/CeO2), Schottky junctions, and Z-scheme systems. Work emphasizes strategic material modifications to enhance charge separation, photocatalytic efficiency, and stability under solar irradiation for sustainable environmental solutions.

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate consistent innovation in photocatalytic membrane development, with a trajectory toward hydrogen peroxide photosynthesis and advanced water purification systems. Research leverages 2D materials and heterojunction engineering to optimize visible-light absorption and radical generation, showing significant citation impact in high-impact journals like Applied Surface Science and Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing.

No scientific awards are documented in the available information.

Ni actively contributes to the collaborative project "2D materials for membrane fabrication" (2022-2025) as a key researcher under PI V. Boffa, focusing on membrane synthesis and photocatalytic applications. They have presented findings at international conferences including the 2025 presentation on gallium-doped carbon nitride/MXene systems for hydrogen peroxide synthesis and the 2024 presentation on Z-scheme heterojunctions for photocatalytic degradation.

As a core member of the Section of Disordered Materials Inorganic and Hybrid Membranes, Ni collaborates extensively with researchers from Aalborg University and international partners (including P. Calza, M.C. Paganini, and T. Ohno) to develop next-generation photocatalytic membranes and heterostructured materials for global water and energy challenges.
