4. Biomedical materials
PEA, OEA and AEA have been shown the anorexigenic, anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects via activation of PPAR-α or cannabinoid receptor. Increase of these lipids’ levels by inhibition of their degrative enzymes FAAH or NAAA also show similar pharmacological effects. We have developed serval potent NAAA inhibitors, e.g., F215, which exhibited excellent therapeutic effects in acute lung injury (ALI) and osteoarthritis. Additionally, we have identified carmofur, a chemotherapeutic agent, as a dual FAAH and NAAA inhibitor, which significantly ameliorates the inflammatory responses and promotes resolution of pulmonary injury.

5. Catalytic Materials for Energy and Environmental Function
Nowadays, the low energy efficiency and the unevenly time/space distribution limited the prospects of the renewable energy applications. As a secondary energy vector, the Hydrogen (H2) will pre-enrich the solar energy to achieve a higher energy density. The H2-based sustainable energy economy will require the large-scale production of H2 from sustainable and environment-friendly resources such as water, second-generation biomass, electricity, and light. Therefore, the achievement of solar H2 production from water and the water electrolysis H2 production technology have both been urged, in which the TiO2 as a kind of photocatalyst/electrocatalysts was extensively studied.
n order to take advantage of both the photochemical and electrochemical methods, a combined system will be built up for the photoelectrolysis-Electrolysis water splitting H2 generation together with the biorefinery production from alkaline alcohol aqueous solution, the combined photoelectrochemical system (CPEC) will maximally achieve the long-term stable hydrogen yield and product diversification. We already explore novel catalytic nano-materials which exhibit excellent properties in H2 evolution and depollution of environment.
The scheme of the ideal combined system for the water-splitting H2 generation together with the biorefinery production from alkaline alcohol aqueous solution (CPEC).
