Description | Abstract In this seminar, I will briefly discuss my group’s motivations, research overview, and selective achievements in the following two topics: •Extreme high temperature (2000–3000 K) as a disruptive platform to design/synthesizenovel materials, from single atom, high entropy nanoparticles (Science 2018, 359, 1489,Cover) and high performance battery membrane (Science 2020).. •Wood nanocellulose as a material platform for designing new structures to manipulateion, phonon, photon, and mechanical properties, with end applications in lightweight,energy-efficient transportation (super wood, Nature 2018, 554, 224), energy-efficientgreen buildings (cooling wood, Science 2019, 364, 760), and high-performancemembranes for the water-energy nexus and solid state batteries (ionic wood, NatureMaterials 2019, 18, 608; Nature 2021). |
