报告人简介：
Qingyu Yan is currently a professor in School of Materials Science and Engineering in Nanyang Technology University. He obtained his BS in Materials Science and Engineering, Nanjing University. He finished his PhD from Materials Science and Engineering Department of State University of New York at Stony Brook. After that, He joined the Materials Science and Engineering Department of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as a postdoctoral research associate. He joined School of Materials Science and Engineering of Nanyang Technological University as an assistant professor in early 2008 and became a Professor in 2018. His research is mainly focsed on the area: (1) battery development; (2) electronic waste recycling, (3) thermoelectric materials and (3) electrocatalytic process for energy conversion.
讲座摘要：
The industrial synthesis of ammonia (NH3), a key feedstock for synthetic fertilizer, is relying on traditional Haber-Bosch approach under extremely harsh conditions (100−200 bar and 400−500 °C). Nitrogen fixation via electrocatalytic process provides an intriguing route at ambient conditions, potentially realizing a sustainable approach when driven by renewable electricity (wind power, hydroelectric power, etc.). In this presentation, we will discuss our recent works on the electrocatalytic processes of nitrogen oxidation, nitrogen reduction, and urea synthesis. The role of new catalyst design and analysis of the reaction pathway will be presented.
