                                    chlorinated organic compounds in anaerobic environments. With the boost of nanotechnology and climate change issues, the treatment technologies of environmental pollutants have gradually evolved from traditional end-of-pipe treatment technology to energy- and carbon-saving applications. Professor Doong has applied nanotechnology to environmental research since 2007. One of the major contributions is to fabricate the %u201cmultiple-in-one%u201d nanocatalyst for water-energy nexus, especially heterogeneous catalysis and photoelectrochemical reaction. These achievements have been applied to water and wastewater treatment and green hydrogen production, which can be practically implemented to achieve the purpose of energysaving, carbon-saving, and environmentally green technology. The research achievements of Professor Doong in the area of waterenergy nexus and net zero emissions have been highly recognized by international peers. He has received many prestigious awards, including the Outstanding Research Award of the National Science and Technology Council, the 2016 International Honorary Member of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists, and the 2020 International Association of Advanced Materials (IAAM) Fellow. Moreover, he also serves as a visiting professor at 5 top universities in the world.Technical ContributionsProfessor Doong%u2019s research work and contributions are mainly in the development and application of environmentally green technologies, and he is also committed to the exploitation of environmentally friendly multi-functional composite materials, which can integrate water and wastewater treatment technology with the concept of energy conservation and carbon saving to promote water-energy nexus and the development of net zero emission technology. Professor Doong also applies the circular economy principles to produce nanoscale carbonaceous materials from agrowates to serve as the electrode materials for a wide variety of applications including adsorption of heavy metals, photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, advanced oxidation processes of emerging pollutants, and photoelectrochemical reactions for H2 evolution and CO2 reduction. This technology can not only purify water quality and recycle water but can also implement the development and application of clean energy and negative emission technology, resulting in the establishment of a multi-disciplinary platform for SDGs and NZE. Currently, Professor Doong has published more than 300 refereed papers with a total citation of > 15,200 and an H-index of 72. Moreover, the field-weight citation index (FWCI) of Professor Doong is in the range of 2.09 %u2013 2.84 over the recent three years, highlighting the excellent research achievement of Professor Doong in the field of environmental green technology and net zero emissions. To achieve the SDGs for environmental sustainability as well as for energy- and carbon-saving, Professor Doong%u2019s research mainly focuses on the exploitation of environmentally friendly nanomaterials, and one of the key contributions is the development of a multiple-in-one nano-catalyst, which can simultaneously remove trace organic toxic substances and produce green energy by using only a small amount of materials. More importantly, the developed technology can complete pollutant mineralization and 098 099
