报告摘要：
Nanomaterials have found widespread use in many applications, including photonics, electronics, catalysis, energy conversion, sensing, imaging, and medicine. Chemistry plays a central role in all these developments. For almost three decades, my group has been working diligently to develop chemical methods for synthesizing novel nanomaterials with controlled properties. In this talk, I will briefly discuss some of the recent developments, with a focus on the rational, deterministic, and controllable synthesis of various types of nanomaterials for catalysis, fuel cell technology, drug delivery, and cancer theranostics. At the end, I will discuss how to scale up the synthesis of these nanomaterials without losing control to produce nanomaterials with the quality, quantity, and reproducibility needed for a systematic study of their fundamental properties as a function of size, shape, and internal structure, and for the exploration of translational/industrial applications.
报告人简介：
Younan Xia is the Brock Family Chair and Georgia Research Alliance (GRA) Eminent Scholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his B.S. degree in chemical physics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1987, M.S. degree in chemistry from University of Pennsylvania (with Alan G. MacDiarmid) in 1993, and Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from Harvard University (with George M. Whitesides) in 1996. His group invented a myriad of nanomaterials with well-controlled properties for applications in plasmonics, electronics, display, catalysis, energy conversion, cancer theranostics, and regenerative medicine. As an example, the silver nanowires invented by his group has been commercialized for the manufacturing of flexible, transparent, and conductive coatings used in applications such as touchscreen display, flexible electronics, and photovoltaics. Xia has co-authored over 900 publications and patents, together with a total citation of more than 200,000 and an h-index of 218. He was ranked a Top 10 Chemist and Materials Scientist in the world based on the number of citations per publication. He has received a number of awards, including the Linus Pauling Medal (2024), ACS National Award for Creative Invention (2023), MRS Medal (2017), ACS National Award in the Chemistry of Materials (2013), NIH Director's Pioneer Award (2006), and NSF CAREER (2000).
