报告简介：

As clean andsustainable energy conversion devices, Hydrogen fuel cells (H2-FCs) areexpected to play dominant role in future clean energy solutions for variousapplications. However, the high cost of Pt catalyst is one of the mainobstacles for the wide-spread commercialization of PEMFCs. Therefore,developing highly efficient low-Pt and Pt-free catalysts are the key to solvethe above-mentioned challenges.

In this talk, Iwill present our recent progress in developing advanced electrocatalysts mainlyfor oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in H2-FCs. Among the non-precious-metal(NMP, Pt-free) catalysts, Fe/N/C catalysts are considered one of the mostpromising ORR catalysts. One major breakthrough has been made by Dodelet et al,with activity and performance of Fe/N/C catalyst approaching to that of Pt[1,2]. However, the durability of Fe/N/C catalysts is still insufficient forpractical applications and its performance decay mechanism is still unclear.Very recently, we made a systematic study to verify whether iron is at theorigin of the first rapid decay (stability problem) of the Fe/N/C catalyst forORR in PEMFCs, which is important to find better ways to improve the durabilityof Fe/N/C catalysts [3]. Moreover, other types of novel nanostructured NPMcatalysts will also be discussed [4-7]. At the same time, a series of low-Ptnanostructured electrocatalysts, synthesize by green chemistry and atomic layerdeposition (ALD), including nanowires, nanotubes and single atoms, for fuelcells will also be presented [8-12].

Both lithium-ion(LIB) and sodium-ion batteries (SIB) are promising technologies for energystorage. We developed a facile, inexpensive and scalable wet-chemical strategyto fabricate the Fe3O4/graphene composites and porous carbon spheres. Thenanocomposite shows dramatically enhanced electrochemical properties includingexcellent reversible capacity, cyclability and rate performance in LIBs andSIBs [13-15].
