Minhua Shao is the Cheong Ying Chan Professor of Energy Engineering and Environment, Head and Chair Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He is also the Director of the HKUST Energy Institute. He earned BS and MS degrees in Chemistry from Xiamen University, and a PhD degree in Materials Science and Engineering from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Dr. Shao joined UTC Power in 2007 leading the development of advanced electrocatalyts for fuel cells, and was promoted to UTC Technical Fellow in 2012. In 2013, he joined Ford Motor Company to conduct research on lithium-ion batteries. He then joined HKUST in 2014. He is the Technical Editor of Journal of the Electrochemical Society. He has published over 300 peer-reviewed articles, 1 edited book and filed over 30 patent applications (19 issued). He has also received a number of awards, including the School of Engineering Research Excellence Award 2024-25, International Outstanding Young Chemical Engineer Award (2022), Supramaniam Srinivasan Young Investigator Award from the ECS Energy Technology Division (2014). He is one of the founding members of Young Academy of Science of Hong Kong and Fellow of the Electrochemical Society.

讲座摘要/Abstract:

Electrocatalytic reactions play essential roles in electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies. The reaction pathways and electrochemical interfaces have been barely understood due to lack of direct molecular level information. In this study, we use the surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy with the attenuated total reflection configuration to directly monitor the reaction intermediates of some important reactions, including oxygen reduction reaction, hydrogen oxidation/evolution, carbon dioxide reduction, and nitrogen reduction reactions. Reaction mechanisms according to the spectroscopic and theoretical calculation results will be proposed. Rational design of electrocatalysts for these reactions will be presented.
