主讲人/Speaker：

Dr. Haohong Duan began independent research career since 2019. He has been working on the development of electro-catalytic systems, synthesizing novel catalysts and designing efficient reactors, for coupling hydrogen evolution and value-added anodic reactions, making contribution to the sustainability of co-production of green hydrogen and valuable chemicals driven by renewable energy. Based on the novel works, Duan has published more than 80 papers as the first or corresponding authors, including Nat. Catal., Nat. Commun., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Duan is also one of the editors and authors of a book “Photocatalysis Using 2D Nanomaterials” (2022, published by Royal Society of Chemistry). He was awarded Distinguished Young Scholars of China, Distinguished Young Scholars of Beijing and Green Tech Award, etc. He is currently the principal scientist in the National Key R&D Program of China. He is also a member of Advisory Board of Chemical Science, and a specially invited editor of Science Bulletin, and youth editor of Science China Chemistry, Precision Chemistry and other high-quality journals.

讲座摘要/Abstract:

Electrocatalytic water splitting powered by renewable energy sources such as solar energy and wind represents a green approach to produce H₂. However, this process still suffers from high cell voltage and the resultant high energy consumption, which is owning to the sluggish kinetics of oxygen evolution reaction. To overcome this challenge, based on the systematical understanding of reaction mechanism, we have developed coupling systems by pairing hydrogen evolution with value-added anodic transformations, including organic synthesis, biomass upgrading and plastic upcycling, in a way to decrease energy consumption of H₂ production and to increase overall economic value. Besides fundamental studies (atomic design of catalyst structure, in-situ/operando investigation of reaction mechanism), we are also exploring the possibility of engineering (design of reactor, assembly of reaction system). We believe that our research can make contribution to the sustainable synthesis of valuable chemicals and carbon neutrality.
