Bih-Show Lou is a Distinguished Professor in the Chemistry Division, Center for General Education, Chang Gung University, Taiwan. She received her Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry from the University of New Mexico, USA, under the supervision of Prof. Mark R. Ondrias in 1993, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of Arizona with Regents Professor Victor J. Hruby. Her current research interests include spectroscopy for chemical and nanomaterial analysis, electrochemistry for biosensor applications, and surface modification using thin-film metallic glasses, high-entropy alloys, and plasma electrolytic oxidation for advanced biomaterial development. Her work also extends to cold atmospheric plasma technologies for antimicrobial applications and wound healing. Prof. Lou has been continuously listed in Stanford University’s database of the world’s top 2% scientists from 2020 to 2025.
HEA Surface Modification for Coorsion Resistant Eletrocatalysis and Biomedical Application

Surface Modification and Anti-Corrosion/TBA
Surface engineering plays a key role in improving the functional performance of materials used in energy and biomedical systems. High entropy alloy (HEA) thin films have recently attracted significant attention due to their compositional complexity, severe lattice distortion, and excellent chemical stability, which provide superior corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and tunable surface chemistry. This work presents recent progress in the development of HEA coatings fabricated using advanced plasma-assisted deposition techniques, particularly high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) and DC magnetron sputtering systems. Thes HiPIMS process generates highly ionized metal flux, enabling the formation of dense and strongly adherent coatings with controllable microstructures. By tailoring elemental composition and reactive gas atmospheres, various HEA compound coatings—such as nitrides, carbides, and oxides—can be synthesized with enhanced functional performance. For energy applications, HEA nitride coatings deposited on conductive substrates demonstrate improved electrocatalytic activity and durability for oxygen evolution reactions in corrosive alkaline and saline environments. For biomedical applications, biocompatible HEA coatings composed of elements such as Ti, Zr, Nb, and Ta exhibit excellent corrosion resistance and favorable cellular responses when applied to implant surfaces. These results demonstrate that plasma-assisted deposition of HEA coatings provide a versatile platform for multifunctional surface modification in both electrocatalysis and biomedical implants.
