Date/Time: 14:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 26th
Venue:  Room A211, No.50 Building
Lecturer: Prof. Shaobin Wang
Abstract:
Various nanocarbon materials including 0-3D nanodiamond, carbon nanotube, graphene, and hybrids, exhibit great merits for energy storage, adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis compared with metal- or metal oxide-based materials in high capacity and strong stability as well as nontoxicity in metal ion-leaching. In this talk, several different nanocarbon systems will be demonstrated to be active materials as alternatives to metal-based catalysts in photocatalysis for wastewater treatment, oxygen generation and supercapacitor.
