报告人简介：Prof. Xin Wang received his Bachelor (1994) and Master (1997) degrees in Chemical Engineering from Zhejiang University, and Ph. D (2002) in Chemical Engineering from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. From 2003 to 2005, he worked as a research fellow at University of California, Riverside, and concurrently, as R&D director and vice president for a startup fuel cell company. He joined Nanyang Technological University as assistant professor in 2005 and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2010 and full professor in 2016. He serves as Associate Dean (Research), College of Engineering. He has been working on electrocatalysis and electrochemical technology for energy harvesting. His recent research focus includes 1) electrocatalyst and electrode development for fuel cells, CO2 electro-reduction and water splitting, and 2) electrochemical reactor with co-generation of electricity and valuable chemicals. He has published over 160 SCI papers with citations over 8,500 and H index of 52, including Nature Energy, JACS, Angewandte Chemie, Advanced Materials, Energy & Environmental Science, etc. He is also listed as inventor of 6 US/international patents with one licensed to a start-up company. He is currently a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC).
报告简介：
Functional nanomaterials play important roles in the development of efficient and stable electrocatalyst for electrochemical energy harvesting and environmental applications. In this talk I will briefly introduce the main research focus and progress in our group involving rational design of functional nanomaterials for these applications. A particular example will be elaborated on the modification of Cu based electrode for CO2 electro-reduction towards hydrocarbons.
