I believe that a vast structural library of nanoparticles can be prepared by re-conceptualizing multicomponent nanoparticles as nodes from which many new structures can be prepared. If one views a multielement nanoparticle as a collection of numerous smaller building blocks, which can be converted compositionally,...
Transition-metal single atom catalysts have been demonstrated as promising catalysts for selective electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR), however, neither the detailed structures of catalytic intermediates nor the key surface species have been unambiguously identified. In this work, a series of single transition-metal atom catalysts with...
To reduce carbon dioxide emissions, a major driver of today's worsening climate change, it is essential to decrease the use of fossil fuels. While coal and natural gas, primarily used for electric power generation, are being replaced through active technological development, biomass has emerged as...
Advances in materials fabrication and probing have been instrumental in the continued miniaturization of high-performance electronic and photonic devices. Soon, the feature size variability will be just a few atoms where the fundamental and engineering limits become significantly important. In this seminar, I will present my recent and...
Stretchable and printable conductors play a crucial role in the design of soft electronics, textile electronics and the evolution of wearable technology. We established an extremely stretchable and printable conductor with high conductivity and durable stretching cycling through the incorporation of liquid metal. We extended...
Metrology, or the science of measurement, is essential in all manufacturing fields. The phrase “if it can’t be measured, it can’t be manufactured” may be overused, but it remains true. Once a workpiece is machined, its dimensions need to be inspected for quality control. There...
