Professor Sam Hsu’s team at City University of Hong Kong earned the Best International Invention Award at AEII 2025 for their Bio-Photoelectrochemical Tandem Reactor (BPTR)
Innovation Highlights
The BPTR pairs a microbial bioelectrode to degrade wastewater pollutants with a solar-powered photoelectrode for hydrogen production in neutral conditions, tackling water purification and green fuel needs simultaneously.
Green Energy Milestone
Building on prior research since 2021-2023, this December 2025 recognition underscores BPTR’s role in advancing sustainable hydrogen solutions.
