Flyer: Prof. Chong Liu Flyer Title: Materials Design for Critical Element Separation Abstract: The development of renewable energy technologies and next-generation quantum and optoelectronic devices relies on the secured supply of critical elements. Traditional mining and separation methods are disruptive to the environment, consume large quantities of harsh chemicals, and are unable to access dilute […]
Hernandez Seminar Flyer 3D-Networked Nanoparticles for Autonomous Computing Abstract: Over the last decade, it has become clear that conventional VLSI is reaching key scaling limits. Moreover, the energy efficiency of human-engineered electronic devices is many orders of magnitude lower as compared to biological computational structures. Such inefficiencies, for example, severely limit our ability to […]
Flyer: Prof. Wenliang Huang Flyer Title: F-Block Metal–Arene Interaction: Dual Reactivity of Metal and Arene Abstract: The unique metal–arene interactions motivated the advancement of chemical bond theory, and enabled a wide range of applications in synthesis and catalysis. In addition, ligand designs incorporating metal–arene interaction led to breakthroughs in stabilizing unusual oxidation states, and empowering […]
Title: Giving Chemistry Direction Abstract: In recent years examples of synthetic molecular machines and motors have been developed, all be they primitive by biological standards. Such molecules are best designed to work through statistical mechanisms. In a manner reminiscent of Maxwell’s Demon, random thermal motion can be rectified through ratchet mechanisms, giving chemistry direction. It […]
Flyer: Aamir Shah Flyer Title: Fundamental Understanding of Electrode-Electrolyte Interface in Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) Kinetics Abstract: Abstract: The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is one of the most fundamental and critical reactions in renewable energy conversion. The recent advancement in various platinum (Pt) nanocatalyst designs has led to greatly improved HER activity. Identification of the […]
