@主辦單位：材料系
@演講主題：Energy Materials: Ultrahigh Temperature Heating and Wood
@演講者：Liangbing Hu (Director, Center for Materials Innovation Carol and Douglas Melamed Professor Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Materials Science Yale University)
@日期：2025年6月20日15:00-16:30
@地點：協勝發講堂(44101)
@演講簡介：
I lead an energy materials research group at Yale University, with a mission to address the CO2 challenge. Our current research interests include (1) ultrahigh-temperature synthesis of new materials and their use in advanced energy devices, (2) solid-state batteries for transportation and the grid, and (3) wood nanoscience and nanotechnologies.
First, I will share my group’s development of two electrified ultrahigh-temperature synthesis methods (Joule heating and ultrahigh temperature plasma) for discovering and manufacturing new energy and environmental materials. I will start with the design and fabrication of ultrahigh temperature heaters, followed by a few specific application examples such as high entropy nanoparticles, ceramic battery membranes, and gas-phase reactions.
Second, I will give an overview of wood nanoscience and nanotechnologies and a few specific examples, including super strong and tough wood toward decarbonization of buildings and cellulose-based ion conductors for low-cost, high-performance batteries.
@演講者學經歷：
Liangbing Hu received his B.S. in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2002, where he worked on colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) materials for three years. He did his Ph.D. (2002–2007) at UCLA, focusing on carbon-nanotube-based nanoelectronics. In 2006, he joined Unidym, Inc. as a co-founding scientist, leading the development of roll-to-roll printed carbon nanotube films and device integration in touch screens, LCDs, flexible OLEDs, and solar cells. He did his postdoc at Stanford University from 2009–2011, where he worked on various energy storage technologies using nanomaterials/nanostructures.
He was a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park before joining Yale University in July 2024. His research group focuses on materials innovations, device integration, and manufacturing, with ongoing research activities on electrified ultrahigh-temperature synthesis, energy storage beyond Li-ion batteries, and novel wood nanotechnologies. He co-founded a few startups to commercialize these technologies.
