报告人简介：Dr. Fan is currently an associate professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He received PhD from National University of Singapore in 2003, followed by postdoc at Max-Planck-Institute of Microstructure Physics, Germany and University of Cambridge. He joined in NTU as faculty since 2008. Dr. Fan’s research interests include semiconductor nanowires and related heterostructures, energy conversion and storage applications of nanomaterials (including photolysis and electrolysis water splitting, batteries and supercapacitors). Dr. Fan has published more than 160 journal papers with an H-index of 52. His highlighted publications include Advanced Materials (×4), Nano Letters (×9), Energy & Environment Science (×4), ACS Nano (×4), Small (×13) and several co-authored papers in Nature Communications. 31 papers are marked as ISI highly Cited Papers. He is an editorial board member of Nanotechnology, advisory board member of Advanced Science, Advanced Materials Interface, and Advanced Materials Technologies and Associate Editor of Materials Research Bulletin. Dr. Fan has chaired or co-chaired several international conferences including MRS in US and ICMAT in Singapore.
报告简介：Metal oxides, nitrides and carbides and their hybrids are being widely studied as electrode materials (batteries and supercapacitors). The performance of electrochemical energy storage devices relies largely on a scrupulous design of nanoarchitectures and smart hybridization of active materials. Nanoarray electrodes are particularly investigated for power source in microelectronics, which requires high rates, high areal capacity/capacitance and long cycle stability. Our group has been actively working on core-shell or core-branch nanoarray materials directly on conductive substrates as electrodes for both supercapacitior and batteries. I will introduce the surface engineering and functionalization strategies, including atomic layer deposition (ALD), graphene quantum dots (GQDs), for performance enhancement. In addition, I will discuss the RF plasma as a highly effective technique for conversion reaction and surface functionalization. Demonstrated examples are metal nitride nanoarrays for electrolysis water splitting (viz., HER and OER), which are regarded as promising alternative to noble metals.
