2013年6月21日下午,美国密歇根理工大学材料科学与工程系Charles and Carroll McArthur Chair ProfessorYunhang Hu教授应邀到应用表面与胶体化学教育部重点实验室进行访问,并做了题为“Advanced Materials for Energy”的学术报告。
Hu教授首先简要介绍了世界及美国能源结构的现状。化石能源资源的不断减少及社会发展对能源需求的持续增长使清洁可持续能源技术的开发,如氢能、太阳能的高效利用,成为全球科学家的共同目标。Hu教授结合自己的最新研究成果,重点从高效储氢材料的开发、CO2的高效转化利用、3D特殊结构石墨烯的制备和应用以及太阳能电池的开发等方面做了精彩的报告。他的博学健谈、幽默风趣给在场师生留下了深刻印象。在回答同学们的提问时,Hu教授以他自己的科研经历为例,对研究生应该如何选择科研课题提供了更广阔的思路。
报告由刘忠文教授主持,重点实验室主任刘昭铁教授和材料科学与工程学院雷志斌教授及部分研究生聆听了此次报告。会后,参观了部分教师的实验室,并就有关课题进行了深入的探讨。
