报告简介：
I will start by giving an overview of active research activities in my research group located at University of Maryland Energy Research Center (UMERC). Then I will focus on wood cellulose nanostructures for solar cells, batteries and other energy applications. I will discuss: (1) the fundamental properties of wood cellulose nanofibers and nanocrystalls; (2) various types of nanostructures based on nanocellulose and their optical, mechanical, and ionic properties; (3) high-performance, low-cost energy devices, including Li-ion and Na-ion batteries, nanostructures solar cells, energy efficient lighting and structural light-weight materials with a potential to replace steel.
个人简介：
BioLiangbing Hu （胡良兵） received his B.S. in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2002, where he worked with Prof Yuheng Zhang on colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) materials for three years. He did his Ph.D. in at UCLA (with George Gruner), focusing on carbon nanotube based nanoelectronics (2002-2007). In 2006, he joined UnidymInc (www.unidym.com) as a co-founding scientist. At Unidym, Liangbing’s role was the development of roll-to-roll printed carbon nanotube transparent electrodes and device integrations into touch screens, LCDs, flexible OLEDs and solar cells. He worked at Stanford University (with Yi Cui) from 2009-2011, where he work on various energy devices based on nanomaterials and nanostructures. Currently, he is an associate professor at University of Maryland College Park. His research interests include nanomaterials and nanostructures, roll-to-roll nanomanufacturing, energy storage focusing on solid-state batteries and Na ion batteries, and printed electronics. He has published over 200 research papers (Total citations: >15,000 times) and given more than 70 invited talks. He received many awards, including: the Nano Letters Young Investigator Lectureship (2017), Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award (2016), ACS Division of Energy and Fuel Emerging Investigator Award (2016), SME Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer Award (2016), University of Maryland Junior Faculty Award (School of Engineering, 2015), 3M Non-tenured Faculty Award (2015), Maryland Outstanding Young Engineer (2014), University of Maryland Invention of Year (2014 Physical Science), Campus Star of the American Society for Engineering Education (2014), Air Force Young Investigator Award (AFOSR YIP, 2013).
