讲座摘要/Abstract:

The conversion and utilization of energy are facing significant changes in terms of resource diversification and sustainable environmental development. The electrochemical synthesis based on carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen elements, through precise reconstruction of chemical bonds to achieve green production of fuels and chemicals and efficient storage of renewable energy, has become a multidisciplinary research hotspot in recent years. However, the electrochemical synthesis still remains several challenges, such as low selectivity of target products, limited production rate, poor energy conversion efficiency and stability, etc. Our team investigated the characteristics of electrocatalytic surface interfaces and the mechanism of electrolytic reactions. We developed a new strategy for precise control of electrocatalytic surface interfaces, and elucidated the dynamic structure of catalytically active sites under reaction conditions. Furthermore, we revealed the scientific understanding of activation and selectivity regulation of reactants such as CO2, CO, CH4, and NO during electrocatalytic reactions. Finally, we developed solid oxide electrolysis cells and alkaline membrane electrolysis cells with industrial current density and high energy conversion efficiency, achieving efficient electrochemical synthesis of fuels and chemicals.
