Theme: Design and Application of Carbon-based Catalytic Materials
Speaker: Hao Yu
Host: Wei Zhao
Time: 15:30-16:30, December 24th, 2018
Location: Conference Room 103, Office Building
Talk Abstract:
Carbon materials are widely used as adsorbents and catalysts in the chemical industry. In the past 30 years, the preparation and regulation technologies of carbon nanotubes and graphene have made great progress, which creates new chance for the development of carbon-based industrial catalysts:
1. Exploration and Mechanism of Oxygen-free Chemicals Produced by Metal-free Nano-carbon Materials Catalyzed by Liquid Phase Hydrocarbon Oxidation；
2. Surface Interface Regulation and Reaction Mechanism of Nano-carbon Supported Metal Monoatomic and Precious Metal Nanoparticle Catalysts；
3. Novel Photocatalytic Materials Constructed by Two-Dimensional Metal Carbides.
