报告人简介：

Yanguang Li is currently a Professor in the Institute of Functional Nano & Soft Materials (FUNSOM) at Soochow University, China. He received his BS in Chemistry from Fudan University, China in 2005; and obtained his PhD in Chemistry from Ohio State University in 2010 under the supervision of Prof. Yiying Wu. He then moved to the Stanford University and completed the post-doctoral training under the supervision of Prof. Hongjie Dai before taking the current faculty position in 2013. Dr. Li’s research focuses on nanostructured functional materials for energy applications, particularly in the realm of electrocatalysis. At present, Dr. Li has coauthored more than 110 peer-reviewed papers, and received a total citations of ~25000 times. He has been selected as the “Highly Cited Researcher” in the category of Chemistry by Clarivate Analytics in 2017-2019. 

报告摘要: 

Nanostructured materials hold great promise for a range of electrocatalytic reactions and play important roles in electrochemical fuel generation. In this presentation, I will briefly review the efforts of our research group on engineering nanomaterials for electrocatalysis within the last five years. Several promising materials will be demonstrated as examples and their electrocatalytic activities toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) will be discussed in detail,with an emphasis on understanding their structure-property relationships. In particular,I will introduce our works on the design and engineering of carbo-deficient W2C nanoparticles and Ni3N nanoparticles with interstitial N doping for HER, as well as bismuth-based materials for CO2RR.
