Lecture by Professor Xiangdong Yao: Defective Carbons for Electrochemical Reactions: A Defect Catalysis Mechanism

Abstract:
Electrochemical reactions, e.g. oxygen reduction (ORR), hydrogen evolution (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), are key to energy conversion and storage. Up to now, platinum (Pt) exhibits the best performance, and Pt/C is the commercial cathode catalyst for the reactions.

Lecture by Professor Younan Xia: Colloidal Metal Nanocrystals: From Academic Studies to Industrial Applications

Abstract:
Although the first documented synthesis of colloidal metal nanocrystals can be traced back to the work by Michael Faraday in 1856, only within the last decade have methods become available for generating samples. For nanocrystals made of noble metals, the shape determines not only their chemical, plasmonic, and catalytic properties but also their relevance for electronic, photonic and catalytic applications.
