報告人簡介：
Prof. Xin Wang received his Bachelor (1994) and Master (1997) degrees in Chemical Engineering from Zhejiang University, and Ph. D (2002) in Chemical Engineering from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. From 2003 to 2005, he worked as a research fellow at University of California, Riverside, and concurrently, as R&D director for a startup fuel cell company. He joined Nanyang Technological University as assistant professor in 2005 and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2010 and full professor in 2016. He is currently the Associate Dean (Research), College of Engineering. He has been working on electrocatalysis and electrochemical technology for energy harvesting. He has published over 160 SCI papers with citations ~10,000 and H index of 55. He is also listed as an inventor of 7 US/international patents with one licensed to a start-up company. He is currently a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC).
報告內容：
Functional nanomaterials play important role in the development of efficient and stable electrocatalyst for electrochemical energy harvesting and environmental applications. Targeting these applications, in this talk Prof. Xin Wang will introduces the main research focus and progress in his group, which includes three aspects: 1) noble meal based based electrocatalyst for fuel cell reactions; 2) non-noble metal based electrocatalyst for water splitting; and 3) modification of Cu based electrode for CO2 electro-reduction towards hydrocarbons. A brief introduction about College of Engineering and Ph.D programme/opportunities in NTU will also be given.
