摘要：
In this talk, I will summarize the recent research on synthesis, characterization and applications of low-dimensional nanomaterials in my group [1]. I will introduce the synthesis and characterization of novel low-dimensional nanomaterials, such as 2Dgraphene-based composites [2] including the first-time synthesized hexagonal-close packed (hcp) Au nanostructures on graphene oxide [3] and the epitaxial growth of Pd, Pt and Ag nanostructures on solution-processable MoS2nanosheesat ambient conditions [4], single- or few-layer metal dichalcogenidesnanosheets [5], and large-amount,uniform, ultrathin metal sulfidenanocrystals [6]. Then I will demonstrate the applications of these novelnanomaterials in chemical and bio-sensors [7], solar cells [8], water splitting [9], hydrogen evolution reaction [4, 10], electric devices [11], memory devices [12], conductive electrodes [7b,8, 11a, 12a,b, 13], etc.

Dr. Hua Zhang obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees at Nanjing University in China in 1992 and 1995, respectively, and completed his Ph.D. with Prof.Zhongfan Liu at Peking University in China in July 1998. He joined Prof.Frans C. De Schryver’s group at KatholiekeUniversiteit Leuven (KULeuven) in Belgium as a Research Associate in January 1999. Then he moved to Prof. Chad A. Mirkin’s group at Northwestern University as a Postdoctoral Fellow in July 2001. He started to work at NanoInk Inc. (USA) as a Research Scientist/Chemist in August 2003. After that, he worked as a Senior Research Scientist at Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore from November 2005 to July 2006. Then he joined the School of Materials Science and Engineering in Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as an Assistant Professor. He was promoted to a tenured Associate Professor on March 1, 2011, and Full Professor on Sept. 1, 2013.
He has published 3 invited book chapters, 50 patent applications (including 8 granted US patents), and over 250 papers, among which 223papers were published in the journals with IF>3 (including 75papers published in IF>10 journals and 51 papers published in7<IF<10 journals). Some of his papers have been published in Science, Nat. Chem., Nat. Commun., Chem. Soc. Rev., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Adv. Mater.,J. Am. Chem. Soc., NanoLett, ACS Nano,Adv. Energy Mater.,Adv. Funct. Mater.,Energy Environ. Sci., Chem. Sci., Small, etc.Based on Web of Scienceon 28 Nov., 2013, the total citation of his papers is over8,200 with H-index of 47. He has been invited to give more than 130Keynote Lectures or Invited Talks in many international conferences or universities and serve as Session Chair. He has organized several international conferences and served as Symposium Chair. He is an Associate Editor of International Journal of Nanoscience (2007-), sits on the Advisory Board of Chem. Soc. Rev.(2012-) and Nanoscale (2012-), the Editorial Advisory Board of Chem. Mater.(2014-), ACS Appl. Mater.Interfaces(2014-), Small (2012-) and Nanofabrication (2012-), the Editorial Board of Carbon (2013-) and NANO (2007-), and the International Advisory Board of Materials Research Express (2014-) and ChemPlusChem (2012-). He is also one of the members of the Advisory Committee of IOP Asia-Pacific (2010-). He got theWorld Cultural Council (WCC) Special Recognition Award (2013), the ONASSIA Foundation Lectureship (Greece, 2013),Asian Rising Stars(15thAsian Chemical Congress, 2013), SMALL Young Innovator Award (Wiley-VCH, 2012) and Nanyang Award for Research Excellence(2011).
Dr. Zhang’s research is highly interdisciplinary. His current research interests focus on synthesis of two-dimensional nanomaterials(graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides) and carbon materials (graphene and CNTs) and their applications in nano- and biosensors, clean energy, water remediation, etc.; controlled synthesis, characterization and application of novel metallic and semiconducting nanomaterials; scanning probe microscopy; lithography-based fabrication of surface structures from micro- to nanometer scale; self-assembly and self-organization of nano- and biomaterials; self-assembled monolayers; etc.
