successfully hosted the symposiums under the 2011-iChEM

collaborative network for four times. Now, we are very excited

that this meeting is back to Fudan University again. We will try

our best to make this world class meeting an unforgettable and

exciting experience for all the participants.

In the 5th symposium, five key areas, optimal Utilization of

Carbon Resources, Chemical Energy Storage and Conversion, Solar Energy Conversion,

Energy Chemistry and Materials, and Materials Characterization and Simulation, will be

highlighted. We have invited world renowned scientists in these areas from China and the

whole world. This three-day meeting promises you great atmospheres to exchange ideas,

broaden knowledge, and meet new friends. We hope you also enjoy the poster sessions, in

which the delegates can discuss ongoing researches and find new collaboration.

Fudan University is also central to all that Shanghai has to offer, so be sure to leave some

time to explore. I wish you have a great experience at Fudan University and Shanghai.

Abstract

Contact electrification (triboelectrification) effect has been known for over 2600 years

since ancient Greek time, but its scientific mechanism remains unclear. The study of

triboelectrification is recently revived due to the invention of the triboelectric

nanogenerators (TENGs), which is the most effective approach for converting tiny

mechanical energy into electricity for powering small sensors. TENG is playing a vitally

important role in the distributed energy and self-powered systems, with applications in

internet of things, environmental/infrastructural monitoring, medical science,

environmental science and security. In this talk, we first present the physical mechanism of

triboelectrification for general materials. Secondly, the fundamental theory of the TENGs is

explored based on the Maxwell equations. Thirdly, we will present the applications of the

TENGs for harvesting all kind mechanical energy that is available but wasted in our daily life,

such as human motion, walking, vibration, mechanical triggering, rotating tire, wind,

flowing water and more. Then, we will illustrate the networks based on triboelectric TENGs

for harvesting ocean water wave energy, for exploring its possibility as a sustainable large-

scale blue energy. Lastly, we will show that TENGs as self-powered sensors for actively

detecting the static and dynamic processes arising from mechanical agitation using the

voltage and current output signals.

Abstract

The development of solar photochemistry that would enable one to split water[1] or

hydrohalic acids[2] to provide hydrogen gas continues to be an important goal, Equations 1

and 2:

2 H2O + hv 2 H2 + O2 (1)

2 HX + hv H2 + X2 X = Cl, Br, I (2)

In this presentation, recent studies of HX and water splitting will be presented in fluid

solution and in photoelectrochemical cells[1,2]. This research focuses on fundamental

advances in photo-initiated redox reactions that occur with molecular light absorbers and

catalysts anchored to nanostructured metal oxide supports. More specifically, the metal-

to-ligand charge transfer (MLCT) excited states of Ru(II) polypyridyl compounds initiate one

electron transfer reactions that ultimately enable the multi-electron transfer catalysis given

in Equations 1 and 2. Mechanistic details are quantified spectroscopically and

electrochemically on nanosecond and longer time scales. Efforts to optimize the

photocatalyst energetics[3], enhance ground state ion-pairing[4], and quantify the underlying

proton-coupled electron transfer reactions[5] will be presented. The presentation will also

include discussion of practical applications and new directions for fundamental research.

Synthesis Challenges for Graphene Industry

Abstract

High quality graphene materials are the footstone of future graphene industry. As experienced in

modern carbon fiber industry over last half century, the synthesis will certainly determine the future of

graphene materials. Although great efforts have been done on synthesis since the first isolation of

graphene in 2004, there still exists a big gap between the theoretical and realistic graphene. For the

industry-level applications, one needs to consider the yield and cost issues in addition to purity, layer

thickness and uniformity, domain size, lateral size of flakes, and defect density. The graphene synthesis

calls for more technological innovations together with fundamental discoveries.

Over last ten years, we have made great efforts on the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of

high performance graphene films. We are working along two different directions towards commercial

graphene materials. The first direction is the CVD growth of single crystal graphene wafers targeting

electronic and optoelectronic purposes. We have realized a pilot level production of 4 inch single crystal

graphene wafers using home-made CVD growth system with a capacity of 10,000 wafers/year. Using

CuNi(111) alloy catalyst, we have succeeded in the ultrafast epitaxial growth of 6 inch single crystal

graphene wafers with a growth rate of 50 times faster than on Cu(111), indicating the possibility of low

cost production of high-quality graphene wafers. The second direction is the CVD growth of large scale

graphene film using commercial Cu foil. We developed the first roll to roll continuous CVD growth system

for this purpose. The production capacity reaches a level of 20,000 m2/year with a domain size of 10-20

µm. The cost has been reduced to 200 RMB/m2. To increase the growth quality, we also developed an

A3-size static CVD growth system with a capacity of 10,000 m2/year and an expected domain size of

0.5mm. Superclean graphene is our important contribution to produce high-performance graphene

films. During CVD growth, there exists an inevitable contamination of graphene surface arising from

amorphous carbon byproduct and not-well developed graphene seeds, which leads to the ordinary “dirty

graphene”. We have developed three effective techniques to grow the superclean graphene, including

Cu-foam-aided growth, post-growth CO2 etching, metal-containing precursors and magic lint roller. Such

kinds of superclean graphene exhibited the highest carrier mobility, the lowest contact resistance and

sheet resistance, and the highest fracture strength. We designed two types of pilot CVD growth systems

based on the CO2 etching technique, A3 size with a capacity of 10,000 m2/year and 300 nm x 100 mm

size with a capacity of 30,000 pieces/year. Moreover, we have made great efforts on directly growing

graphene on traditional glass, optical fibers, glass fibers and sapphire wafers. Such kinds of growth

products can be directly used for various applications without involving the difficult peeling off and

transfer processes. Super graphene glass, graphene-tailored optical fibers and glass fibers using the

direct growth technique have become our important research targets in the last few years. The talk will

give a brief overview of our last 10 years studies on the industrial level synthesis.

Abstract

Supercapacitors, batteries and fuel cells represent three distinct electrochemical

energy conversion devices that are of increasing importance for applications in mobile

power supply and renewable energy technologies. A common feature of these devices

involves coupled ion transport and electron transport in active electrode materials. In this

talk, I will discuss the critical role of charge transfer and transport processes in

electrochemical devices and give a few examples how the performance of various

electrochemical devices may be greatly improved by tailoring these critical processes. In

particular, I will describe the design of a 3D holey graphene framework simultaneously with

excellent electron and ion transport properties, to enable supercapacitor or battery

electrodes with unprecedented combination of energy and power density. Additionally, I

will also discuss the design of 1D platinum nanowire electrocatalysts and 3D-grphene

supported single site electrocatalysts that can simultaneously boost the interfacial charge

transfer and long range charge transport for efficient electrochemical energy conversion in

batteries and fuel cells.

Abiological Self-Assembly: Predesigned Metallacycles and Metallacages via Coordination

Peter J. Stang

Abstract The use of just two types of building blocks, linear and angular, in conjunction with symmetry

considerations allows the rational design of a wide range of metallocyclic polygons and polyhedra via the

coordination motif.[1-3] We have used this approach to self-assemble a variety of 2D supramolecular

polygons such as triangles, rectangles, squares, hexagons, etc. as well as a number of 3D supramolecular

polyhedra: truncated tetrahedra, triginal prisms, cuboctahedra[4] and dodecahedra.[5] An example of

the methodology is illustrated in Figure 1. More recently we have functionalized these rigid

supramolecular scaffolds with different electroactive, host-guest, dendritic (Figure 2), and

hydrophobic/hydrophilic moieties and have investigated the properties of these multifunctionalized

supramolecular species.[6] Additionally, we have begun to explore the self-assembly of 2D polygons and

3D polyhedra on a variety of surfaces with the aim of developing their potential to be used in device

settings.[7-12] These novel, supramolecular ensembles are characterized by physical and spectral means.

The design strategy, formation, characterization and potential uses of these novel metallocyclic

assemblies will be discussed, along with our very recent results.

Abstract

About a century ago, Dr. Hermann Staudinger

substantiated the existence of ultralong molecules

and won the long-term debate against the

colloidal theory to establish polymer science.

Needless to say, polymer science has made

tremendous contributions to the progress of

human society, although it coincidentally brought

about a critical environmental issue to tackle. In

this lecture, I would like to present the significance

and applications of supramolecular polymerization, a modernized version of the colloidal approach to

polymeric materials. Supramolecular polymers attract attention not only because they are 100%

recyclable but also they can be designed to be environmentally friendly, self-healable, responsive, and/or

adaptive. In 1988, we reported one of the earliest examples of supramolecular polymerization, featuring

the formation of a 1D polymeric assembly using an amphiphilic porphyrin with water-soluble oligoether

side chains as the monomer and have made fundamental contributions to this field. Representative

examples include (1) nanotubular supramolecular polymerization, (2) chain-growth supramolecular

polymerization, (3) supramolecular block copolymerization, (4) stereoselective supramolecular

polymerization, and (5) thermally bisignate supramolecular polymerization. These five contributions are

integral elements of conventional polymer science, filling in the critical gap between supramolecular and

conventional polymerizations. Furthermore, we have expanded the basic concept of supramolecular

polymerization into the noncovalent design of innovative soft materials. Successful examples include the

developments of (i) bucky gels, (ii) aquamaterials, (iii) mechanically robust yet self-healable materials,

(iv) supramolecular polymers of biomolecular machines, (v) ferroelectric columnar liquid crystals, and

(vi) reorganizable and adaptive core-shell columnar liquid crystals. I will highlight some of these examples

to show the significance of supramolecular polymerization for the realization of sustainable society.

Abstract

In this presentation, I will firstly introduce the basic principal of photovoltaic (PV)

materials and devices. Once the fundamental aspects have been laid out, I will follow with

a detail discussion of organic photovoltaics (OPV) and perovskite (PVSK) PV technologies.

OPV technology, utilized organic and polymer materials as the active elements, which

has emerged as one of the promising photovoltaic technologies. One of the features of

using organic compounds as active materials is the narrow absorption. Recently, in order to

broaden the absorption, we successfully designed an OPV device with three components

as the active materials. As a result, power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 11-12% were

achieved. Recently, we obtained high performance single-junction and tandem-junction

OPVs by the synthesis of new infrared absorbing non-fullerene acceptors as well as ternary

blend. These single-junction and tandem-junction devices were certified by National

Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and PCEs of 12.6% and 11.5% were achieved. In

addition, we demonstrated transparent OPV device as a part of the dual-functional

“photovoltaic roof” for both power generation and photosynthesis in greenhouses.

On the other hand, perovskite solar cell is another major research in my group. The

characteristic grain boundaries (GBs) of the polycrystalline perovskite films were found to

contribute to the trap states and further act as vulnerable spots to trigger environmental

degradation. In this presentation, I will report our recent understanding on methods for

manipulation of the defects in perovskite solar cells. Crystallization kinetics of the

perovskite layer was controlled by engineering of intermediate phases, which resulted in

significant enhancement in crystallinity with reduced defects. The inevitable defects at GBs

were effectively passivated by additives. Significant enhancement in photoluminescence

lifetime supported effective passivation of defects at the perovskite layer. As a result, the

PCE exceeding 21% (steady-state PCE of 20.64%) was achieved for a planar heterojunction

perovskite solar cell. Thanks to the passivated GBs, the device demonstrated significantly

enhanced stability. I will also report our progresses on perovskite tandem solar cells. A high

performance perovskite tandem solar cell was achieved via engineering of the

interconnecting junction, where certified power conversion efficiency over 22% was

demonstrated.

Polymer Chemistry of Graphenes

Abstract

As is well known, graphenes hold enormous technological promise with applications

in energy technology, (opto)electronics, non-linear optics and spintronics. A materials

science of graphenes, however, is not only a playground for physics, but also a tremendous

challenge for chemistry and graphene fabrication. In tailor-making graphenes and graphene

nanoribbons (GNRs), their geometrical cut-outs, we introduce both top-down and bottom-

up protocols. A powerful example of the former is electrochemically assisted exfoliation,

while the latter is illustrated by precision polymer synthesis proceeding in, both, solution

and on-surfaces. Graphene synthesis after immobilization of monomeric carbon sources on

surfaces can be scaled up by extension from UHV-conditions to chemical vapor deposition

and also allows in-situ monitoring by scanning tunneling microscopy.

Examples of graphene-based batteries, fuel cells and photodetectors will be presented

but, there, aspects of processing, device-fabrication and integration come into play as well.

More disrupting opportunities come from the chemical side. Thus, the design of GNRs with

appropriate edge structures furnishes semiconductors with i) high on-off ratios in field-

effect transistors, ii) spin states with high correlation times and iii) robust topologically

insulating phases in 1D. There is hope that these features provide entries into spintronics

and even quantum computing.

Light-Induced Processes in Covalent Organic Frameworks

e-mail: bein@lmu.de

Abstract

Photoactive molecular building blocks can be spatially integrated into the crystalline lattice of covalent organic frameworks (COFs), allowing us to control morphology (1) and packing order.(2)

We will discuss different strategies aimed at creating electroactive networks capable of light-induced charge transfer. For example, we have developed a COF containing stacked thienothiophene-based building blocks acting as electron donors with a 3 nm open pore system, which showed light-induced charge transfer to an intercalated fullerene acceptor phase.(3) Contrasting this approach, we have designed a COF integrated heterojunction consisting of alternating columns of stacked donor and acceptor molecules, promoting the photo-induced generation of mobile charge carriers inside the COF network.(4) Additional

synthetic efforts have led to several COFs integrating extended chromophores capable of efficient harvesting of visible light, for example (5). Extending newly developed thin film growth methodology to a solvent-stable oriented 2D COF photoabsorber structure, we have established the capability of COF films to serve in photoelectrochemical water splitting systems.(6) Related COF films can also act as ultrafast solvatochromic chemical sensors.(7) Recently, detailed transient absorption studies on a family of related COFs have enabled us to present a unified model in which charges are generated through rapid singlet singlet annihilation and show lifetimes of several tens of microseconds. These long-lived charges are of particular interest for optoelectronic devices, and our results point toward the importance of controlling the singlet singlet annihilation step in order to increase the yield of separated charges.(8) The great structural diversity and morphological precision that can

be achieved with COFs make these materials intriguing model systems for organic optoelectronic materials.

Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles Directed by Light and Chemical Fuels

rafal.klajn@weizmann.ac.il

Abstract

Living organisms are sophisticated self-assembled structures that exist and operate far

from thermodynamic equilibrium. They remain stable at highly organized (low-entropy)

states owing to the continuous consumption of energy stored in “chemical fuels”, which

they convert into low-energy waste. [1] Dissipative self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature,

where it gives rise to complex structures and desired properties such as self-healing and

camouflage.[2] In sharp contrast, nearly all man-made materials are static: they are designed

to serve a given purpose rather than to exhibit different properties dependent on external

conditions. In the first part of my talk, I will describe our initial steps towards realizing

dissipative self-assembly systems based on nanoparticulate building blocks. In these

systems, self-assembly is initiated by the addition of a fuel, which initiates a chemical

reaction resulting in nanoparticle aggregates.[3] These aggregates are transient and they

spontaneously disassemble as the reaction reaches equilibrium. I will outline a general

principle for constructing such systems based on decorating nanoparticles with catalytic

moieties.[4] The second part of the talk will focus on controlling self-assembly of

nanoparticles using light. To render nanoparticles photoresponsive, we functionalize them

with monolayers of photochromic molecules, which can be transformed between two

states using light of different wavelengths. Emerging applications of these light-responsive

nanoparticles include transient nanoreactors,[5] time-sensitive data storage,[6] and magnetic

manipulation of non-magnetic objects.[7]

E-mail address: mvkovalenko@ethz.ch Abstract

We discuss the discovery and recent developments of colloidal lead halide perovskite nanocrystals

(LHP NCs, NCs, A=Cs+, FA+, FA=formamidinium; X=Cl, Br, I)[1,2,3] and some lead-free analogues. We survey

the synthesis methods, optical properties and prospects of these NCs for optoelectronic applications[4,5].

LHP NCs exhibit sp -45 nm from blue-to-near-infrared) sponaneous

and stimulated emission, originating form bright triplet excitons [6], and tunable over the entire visible

spectral region of 400-800 nm[1-4]. Post-synthestic chemical transformations of colloidal NCs, such as ion-

exchange reactions, provide an avenue to compositional fine-tuning or to otherwise inaccessible

materials and morphologies[7]. Cs- and FA-based perovskite NCs are highly promising for backlighting of

LCD displays, for light-emitting diodes and as precursors/inks for perovskite solar cells. In particular, high

purity colloids are ideal for further engineering as needed for photochemical/photocatalytic applications.

Towards these applications, a unique feature is that perovskite NCs appear to be trap-free without any

electronic surface passivaiton[8], making photogenerated electrons and holes readily availably for surface

chemical reactions.

The processing and optoelectronic applications of perovskite NCs are, however, hampered by the

loss of colloidal stability and structural integrity due to the facile desorption of surface capping molecules

during isolation and purification. To address this issue, we have developed a new ligand capping strategy

utilizing common and inexpensive long-chain zwitterionic molecules, resulting in much improved

chemical durability[9].

Perovskite NCs also readily form long-range ordered asssemblies known as superlattices. These

assemblies exhibit accelerated coherent emission (superfluorescence)[10], not observed before in

semiconductor nanocrystal superlattices. References:

Photocatalytic and Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting and CO2 Fixation aiming at

Artificial Photosynthesis

Abstract Photocatalytic water splitting is a challenging reaction because it is an ultimate

solution to resources, energy, and environment issues. Photocatalytic CO2 fixation has also attracted attention. These can be regarded as artificial photosynthesis, because light energy is converted to chemical energy[1]. In the present paper, I introduce various metal oxide and sulfide photocatalysts and photoelectrochemical cells for water splitting and CO2 reduction.

In water splitting using powdered photocatalysts, SrTiO3:Rh of a H2-evolving photocatalyst and BiVO4 of an O2-evolving photocatalyst construct various type of Z-schematic photocatalyst systems with Fe3+/Fe2+, [Co(bpy)3]3+/2+, [Co(phen)3]3+/2+, and a conductive reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as an electron mediator and even without an electron mediator[1,2]. Metal sulfide photocatalysts that cannot be employed as a single particulate photocatalyst can be employed for Z-schematic photocatalyst systems for water splitting[3,4].

In photoelectrochemical water splitting, SnNb2O6 and (CuGa)xZn1-2xIn2S4 were successfully developed as a photoanode and a photocathode, respectively[5,6]. Those photoelectrodes work under visible light and also simulated sun light.

In photocatalytic CO2 reduction, Ag cocatalyst-loaded ALa4Ti4O15 (A = Ca, Sr, and Ba) and NaTaO3:Ba with 3.79–4.1 eV of band gaps showed activities to form CO in an aqueous medium[7,8]. CO is the main reduction product rather than H2. We also constructed a Z-scheme system consisting of CuGaS2 photocatalyst of a CO2-reducing photocatalyst with BiVO4 of an O2-evolving photocatalyst and RGO of an electron mediator for CO2 reduction using water as an electron donor[4].

Multifunctional and hierarchical porous materials have attracted much attention as

host electrode materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storages. Our research

group has developed powerful methods to control multiscale porous inorganic

nanostructurs via simple “one-pot method” by employing blends of block copolymers and

homopolymers. The new approach allows access to a high degree of control over pore

structure and size, particle shape, particle size and chemical composition including metal

oxides, metal nitride and conductive carbon. Multiscale porous materials have been

employed as a multifunctional sulfur host, integrating the advantages of multiscale porous

architectures with high performance electrocatalytic property to achieve high-power and

long-life lithium-sulfur batteries. A new and intuitive strategy for tuning and enhancing the

kinetic activity of Fe-N4 sites was designed by controlling electro-withdrawing/donating

properties of carbon plane. Fe-N4 integrated mesoporous materials showed a high catalytic

performance comparable to that of Pt/C in anion exchange membrane (AEM) fuel cells.

Abstract

Catalysis—the essential science for accelerating and directing chemical transformation—is the key to realizing environment-friendly and efficient processes for the conversion of fossil energy feedstocks. Catalysis is also the key to developing new technologies for converting alternative feedstocks, such as biomass, carbon dioxide,

nitrogen, and water to chemicals and fuels. The two grand challenges of heterogeneous catalysis, understanding mechanisms and dynamics of catalyzed reactions as well as the design and controlled synthesis of catalyst structures, require an atomic and electronic-level understanding of catalysts and catalytic processes. Due to their structural complexity, especially under reaction conditions, the catalytic active site and the molecule-catalyst interaction are often difficult to describe. This presentation will discuss our recent research

on the synthesis, characterization, reaction study, and modeling of heterogeneous catalysts that are precisely synthesized at atomic level using well-defined porous intermetallic compounds,[1-8] which provide the means for meeting the two grand challenges of heterogeneous catalysis. This presentation will demonstrate that ordered nanomaterials could not only help the understanding of catalysis mechanism but also reveal new catalytic phenomenon.

Abstract

Steering the photo-induced charge-flow based on unique bandgap alignment in

semiconductor heterojunctions is critical for photocatalysis applications. Thus, design

rational synthesis approach to construct novel heterostructures for efficient band

engineering is highly desired. Herein, we report our recent progress on design and synthesis

of semiconducting metal sulfide heteronanostructures (-ZnS-CdS-ZnS-, Cu1.94S-ZnS) as well

as ternary semiconductor-(semiconductor/metal) nanoarchitecture for solar energy

conversion. Through using our synthesized unique ultrathin ZnS nanorods as the template,

we further prepared a series of ternary multi-node sheath heteronanorods, realizing

enhanced full-spectrum absorption and efficient charge separation for solar energy

conversion. In addition, self-coupled Cu2−xS heteronanostructure polymorphs (Cu1.94S-CuS)

can also be synthesized by a facile one-pot chemical transformation route, showing much

enhanced photoelectrochemical performance. Furthermore, a class of core–shell vacancy

engineering catalysts that utilize sulfur atoms in the Cu2S nanoparticle core and copper

vacancies in the shell (Cu2S–Cu-V core–shell nanoparticles) are found to enable highly

efficient for electrochemical CO2 reduction to propanol and ethanol, indicating the

possibility for selectively producing higher-carbon alcohols in the future. These emerging

semiconducting heteronanostructures show promising application potentials for efficient

energy conversion.

Abstract

The coupling of C1 molecules such as CH4, CH3OH, CO and CO2 into important C2

compounds such as C2H4, CH3CH2OH and HOCH2CH2OH (ethylene glycol, EG) plays a crucial

role in the utilization of abundant C1 feedstocks. On the other hand, the selective cleavage

of C-O/C-C bond is a core reaction in the valorization of biomass. Selectivity control is

challenging for these reactions using traditional catalysis. Photocatalysis offers a promising

methodology for C-C coupling of C1 molecules and selective cleavage of C-O/C-C bonds in

biomass under mild conditions.

Here, I will demonstrate that CdS catalyzes the preferential activation of C-H bond in

methanol to •CH2OH by photogenerated holes, followed by selective formation of EG

(Figure 1).[1] The photogenerated hole also works for the activation of Cα-H in lignin, forming

Cα radical intermediate, in which the β-O-4 bond becomes significantly weak and can be

cleaved to form functionalized aromatics under mild conditions (Figure 1).[2]

Boron-based Metal-free Catalysts for Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Propane

An-Hui Lu

of Technology, Dalian, Liaoning, China, 116024 Email address: anhuilu@dlut.edu.cn

Abstract

Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane to olefins is a promising alternative route to industrialized direct dehydrogenation, but encounters the difficulty in selectivity control for olefins because of the over-oxidation reactions that produce a substantial amount of undesired CO2. Under the reaction conditions, the formed electron-rich propylene reacted more easily with molecular oxygen over the metal oxide catalysts, resulting in the cleavage the C-C bond through a consecutive oxygen insertion and thus forming the final product, CO2. From a chemical point of view, an ideal catalyst shall be highly selective for C-H bond cleavage but not for C-C bond cleavage under the oxidative dehydrogenation conditions. Unfortunately, development of such a highly selective catalyst is still challenging.

In recent years, our group has developed edge hydroxylated boron nitride (BNOH)[1-3], a metal-free catalyst, efficiently catalyzed dehydrogenation of propane to propylene with a superior selectivity (80.2%) but with only negligible CO2 formation (0.5%) at a given propane conversion of 20.6%. Remarkable stability was evidenced by the operation of a 300-hour test with steady conversion and product selectivity. The active BNO• site, generated dynamically through hydrogen abstraction of B-OH groups by molecular oxygen, triggered propane dehydrogenation by selectively breaking the C-H bond but simultaneously shut off the pathway of propylene over-oxidation towards CO2. This novel and metal-free catalyst system not only opens up a new research direction in selective activation of the C-H bond of alkanes, but also serves as a highly potential catalyst for the industrial ODH process. Follow this study, we have also found that silicon boride can be used as metal-free catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of light alkanes to olefins with high selectivity and stability[4]. Recently, we succeeded in the preparation of supported boron oxide on mesoporous silica which showed high selectivity at low reaction temperature for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propylene[5]. These studied indicated that the B-OH sites could be the active centers for ODH.

Abstract Lithium and sodium metals have highly reactive surface chemistry, which leads to inevitable formation of solid-electrolyte interphases (SEIs); the corresponding metal anodes suffer from non-uniform deposition, causing reforming of the SEIs upon plating and formation of dead metals upon stripping. These issues result in low Coulombic efficiency, short lifetime, and even safety hazard, which would hamper their practical applications. Nevertheless, these issues may be relieved if the SEI could be made smooth, compact, and with coupled rigidity and elasticity. Reducing Li/Na usage by employing “Li/Na-free” type of metal anodes are also effective means to couple with the safety issue of Li metal batteries; in this case making the surface of current collector affinitive to Li /Na becomes another challenging task.

In this presentation, we focus on two important interphases of Li/Na metal anodes, the SEI between Li/Na metal and electrolyte, and the lithophilic/sodiophilic interphase between current collector and the Li/Na metal, and discuss their roles in stabilizing Li/Na anodes. An overview is given based on the works of the authors' groups in these two aspects. Briefly, an electrochemical means is established to create smooth and compact SEIs on alkali metal foil, which are implantable to Cu surface,[1] and AFM indentation technique is intensively employed for characterization of the mechanical property of SEIs with correlation of their electrochemical cycling performances. Meanwhile, strategies to improve the affinity of current collectors are developed, from in-situ formation of alloying-based interphase for Na,[2] to atomic-scale design of Cu surfaces with lattice matching with Li,[3] for stable Li/Na plating and stripping.

Polymer Membranes for Large-Scale Energy Conversion

hickner@matse.psu.edu

Abstract

New polymer membranes are needed to advance energy storage and conversion

technologies for distributed and grid-scale applications. We have recently demonstrated

new ion-conducting polymer membranes that have achieved excellent performance and

long-lifetime stability in vanadium redox flow batteries, a leading technology candidate for

deployment in renewable power networks and grid-scale energy storage systems with sizes

ranging from 10s to 100s of megawatts.[1,2] By tuning the nanoscopic self-assembly of the

ionic domains in the polymers, we are able to increase the cycle life of the device by

impeding vanadium ion transport through the membrane while facilitating high

conductivity in the electrolyte to maintain the battery current density. For instance, by

decreasing the vanadium permeability of the membrane by a factor of two, we have been

able to double the lifetime of the device, which provides significant life-cycle cost savings.

We have also demonstrated membranes with nearly zero vanadium permeability that show

100 % coulombic efficiency in flow battery charge-discharge cycling tests.[3]

In addition to optimizing the chemical structures of polymeric membranes, physical

manipulations, such as surface patterning, can be employed to improve the performance

in devices.[4] We have used photopolymerization and a stereolithographic patterning 3D

printing process to develop surface-patterned anion exchange membranes that have low

resistance compares to their flat, unpatterned counterparts. The lower resistance of the

patterned membranes is due to the low parallel resistance of the patterned areas and is

quantified through a mathematical model that can be used as a predictive tool for

optimizing the membranes.

This talk will show how polymers with new chemical structures and physical patterning

can be applied to different types of batteries and other electrochemical devices. Common

design principles and considerations for fabricating new ion exchange membranes for

energy processes will be discussed.

Abstract

Natural gas is abundantly found on earth and environmentally cleaner than petroleum.

However, low density of natural gas makes it difficult to transport and store, limiting its

applications. Adsorbed natural gas (ANG) technology is a safer and cheaper alternative to

conventional liquefied or compressed natural gas storage particularly for on-board

applications including the shipment of natural gas. Conventional rigid porous materials,

such as activated carbons, zeolites, metal organic frameworks, and porous organic polymers

demonstrate inadequate performance, fail to achieve the United States Department of

Energy target capacity (0.5 g/g, 263 L/L) set for commercial applications. Recently, we

reported a flexible dimethylene-linked network polymer, which is easily made from

industrially cheap chemicals, and scaled up to kg scale in one batch, to show record high

working capacities (5-100bar) of methane 0.625 g/g (294 L/L).[1] The flexible linker groups

provide both the rapid desorption and the thermal management, while its hydrophobicity

along with the carbon-carbon bonded framework ensures robust use over many cycles and

conditions. The method we have developed here is highly scalable, and could be extended

to different variabilities depending on the monomer and linker choice. In fact, our most

recent unpublished work shows higher capacities are possible with further optimization of

the flexible linkers. The high methane storage capacity, inexpensive and scalable production

of these materials make them prominent candidates for commercializing ANG technology.

Abstract

Hard carbon holds a great promise for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). For the NIB

technology to be viable, cost-effective electrode materials must be available, especially for

large-scale energy storage applications. We have developed an approach to preparing hard

carbon from Australian native grass – Spinifex. The carbon exhibits good charge storage

capacity and stability against charge/discharge cycling.

To improve the electrochemical performance of the biomass-derived carbon electrode, it is

important to understand charge storage mechanism. Studies have shown that there are at

least three possible mechanisms occurring when sodium ions electrochemically interacting

with hard carbon: 1) interlayer intercalation, which may also include a contribution from

defects and heteroatoms; 2) sorption at open pore surfaces and defective sites (vacancies,

heteroatoms, functional groups); and 3) sodium clustering (or plating) at voltage close to

zero.

In this talk, I will discuss our recent research data on electrochemical properties of

biomass-derived hard carbon electrode materials, as well as our primary understanding on

sodium-ion storage mechanism in the biomass-derived hard carbon.

Abstract

With the availability of high specific surface area (SSA), well-balanced pore distribution,

high conductivity, and tunable wettability, carbon-based nanomaterials are highly expected

as advanced materials for energy conversion and storage. In this context, usually attention

is attracted by the star material of graphene in recent years.

In this talk, I will overview our studies on carbon-based nanomaterials from nanotubes

to nanocages, including the synthesis, energy applications and related mechanisms. The

two carbon nanostructures have the common features of interior cavity, high conductivity,

and easy doping but much different SSAs and pore distributions, leading to different

applications and performances. We demonstrated a six-membered-ring-based growth

mechanism of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on the structural similarity of the benzene

ring to the building unit of CNTs. We developed an in situ template method to prepare the

novel 3D hierarchical carbon-based nanocages, which featured coexisting micro-meso-

macropores and much larger SSA than the nanotubes. Accordingly, a series of unique C-

based nanotubes and nanocages with tunable dopants, SSAs and pore distributions have

been designed and obtained, which provides us great opportunities for further explorations.

These new C-based nanomaterials present excellent performances for advanced energy

conversion and storage associated with catalysis, supercapacitors and lithium-sulphur

batteries and so on, which is significant to promote the exciting field of carbon-based

nanomaterials.[1-4]

ABSTRACT

Direct probing solid-liquid interface is the first step to truly understand an

electrochemical system, where the electrochemical interface plays a crucial role. However,

it has been a challenge to look through the dense liquid or solid layer and to monitor the

thin electrochemical interface while the electrochemical reactions are happening. Many

groups have tried to use different in-situ techniques to address this challenge. Particularly,

several significant advances have been made recently to probe the electrochemical

interface under in situ and operando conditions using synchrotron radiation based

characterization tools. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS) is one

of them.[1] In this talk, I will give a brief history how our group developed APXPS techniques

using soft X-ray and tender X-ray to probe the electrochemical interface directly [2] and show

several in-situ studies[3,4] on electrolyte/electrode interfaces. At the end, I will share the

progress that we have made on X-ray free electron laser development in Shanghai.

Abstract

Improving rechargeable batteries to operate efficiently at ultra-low temperatures is

driven by many applications, such as space applications, various planetary missions and

other cold-climate environments. However, commonly used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) lost

most capacity at the temperature of -40 oC, which hindered a broad range of applications

at low temperatures. Recently, our group developed an ethyl acetate (EA) based electrolyte;

the electrolyte delivers a sufficient ionic conductivity of 0.2 mS/cm at the ultra-low

temperature of-70 oC. However, the conventional LIBs based on the intercalation

compound cannot work at -70 oC because of the sluggish desolvation of Li+, thus we develop

an organic battery which can work at temperature as low as -70 oC by employing

polytriphenylamine cathode and polyimide anode. As the limited electrochemical stable

window from 1.5 V to 4.7 V (vs. Li+/Li) at a concentration of 2 M, the full cell solely delivers

a low specific energy of 33 Wh kg-1 based on the total weight of both electrode active

materials.

Very recently, we developed a new electrolyte with a wide range of electrochemical

window (0~4.85V) by adding electrochemically “inert” dichloromethane (DCM) as diluent

in concentrated ethyl acetate(EA)-based electrolyte, which inherited the merit of the

expanded stable potential window from high-concentration electrolyte and circumvented

its shortcoming of high viscosity. The co-solvent electrolyte (5.0 mol kg−1 LiTFSI/EA+DCM

(1:4 by volume)) demonstrates a sufficient ionic conductivity of 0.6 mS/cm, low viscosity

(0.35 Pa s) at ultra-low temperature of -70oC. Spectra characterizations and atomistic

simulations jointly elucidated these unique properties with co-solvation structure, where

clusters of highly-concentrated salt in EA-based solvent were surrounded by the mobile

diluent. Based on such an electrolyte, rechargeable metallic lithium batteries using organic

polymer cathode materials and Li metal anode displayed excellent performance at -70 oC.

The obtained Li/ polyimide battery can deliver a high specific energy of 259 Wh kg-1 at room

temperature and a specific energy of 178 Wh kg-1 at ultra-low temperature of -70 oC, which

enables a further step for rechargeable batteries that can be operated efficiently under

extreme conditions.

Abstract

Recently, many clean energy storage devices, based on new active materials and

electrolytes, have been investigated to improve the electrochemical performance. However,

even lithium ion battery can’t satisfy the increasing industrial needs resulted from the

electric vehicle and the smart grid network. Recently, the Li-O2 and Li-S batteries have

attracted much more attention based on their high energy densities. Here, I will introduce

some recently research results of the Li-O2 and Li-S batteries in our research group.

One of them is to introduce the metal-organic frameworks (MOF) separator

membranes into Li-O2 and Li-S batteries not only to stop the shuttle effects from redox

mediators in Li-O2 battery and the Sn2- (4<n<8) ions in Li-S battery but also to obtain the

dendrites free metal Li anode in both Li-O2 and Li-S batteries. I will also talk about some

recently results and provide the perspectives for Li-O2 and Li-S batteries based on the works

in my research group.[1]

Abstract

Exploring efficient and low cost oxygen electrocatalysts for ORR and OER is critical for

developing renewable energy technologies like fuel cells, metal-air batteries, and water

electrolyzers. This presentation will presents a systematic study on oxygen electrocatalysis

(ORR and OER) of transition metal spinel oxides. Starting with a model system of Mn-Co

spinel, the presentation will introduce the correlation of oxygen catalytic activities of these

oxides and their intrinsic chemical properties. The catalytic activity was measured by

rotating disk technique and the intrinsic chemical properties were probed by synchrotron

X-ray absorption techniques. It was found that molecular orbital theory is able to well-

explain their activities. The attention was further extended from cubic Mn-Co spinels to

tetragonal Mn-Co spinels and it was found that the molecular theory is again dominant in

determining the catalytic activies. This mechanistic principle is further applied to explain

the ORR/OER activities of other spinels containing other transition metals (Fe, Ni, Zn, Li, and

etc.). The talk further gives insight on surface reconstruction on spinel oxides and how the

bulk properties affect such reconstruction during OER.

Abstract

Few aspects are as prevalent and important to energy conversion and storage as the

dimension control of porous nanomaterial architectures. The study of nanostructure-

dependent electrochemical behavior, however, has been broadly limited by access to well-

defined nanomaterials with independent control over the pore and wall dimensions. This

historic limitation is partially due to reliance upon dynamic self-assembly processes that

progress towards equilibrium. We have developed a kinetically controlled approach as a

new nanofabrication tool kit.1-5 Kinetic control is historically difficult to reproduce, a

challenge that we have resolved, in part with switchable micelle entrapment6-7 to yield

reproducible and homogeneous nanomaterial series that follow model predictions. This

approach enables seamless access from meso-to-macroporous materials with a remarkable

~2 Å precision of tuning, commensurate with the underlying atomic dimensions. This

precision and independent control of architectures also opens new opportunities for nano-

optimized devices.

About iChEM

The Collaborative Innovation Center of Chemistry for Energy Materials (iChEM) was established jointly by

Xiamen University (XMU), Fudan University (FDU), University of Science and Technology of China (USTC),

and Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). It has been

created under the framework of “Collaborative Innovation Program” of the Ministries of Education (MOE)

and Finance of China (MOF), the so-called “2011-Program”, launched in 2011 after the well-known

national “211-Program” and “985-Program”. The mission of the consortium is to integrate key innovative

elements among the universities, research institutes and enterprises in China and abroad. In

addition, iChEM takes advantage of the strengths in “chemistry and materials sciences” of the four

member institutions in the further advancement of cutting-edge energy-related research and

meanwhile training younger generation for research excellence, whereby strengthening research

community and industry collaboration.

A new system under international

standards has been established that

consists of top research scientists and

supportive technicians, as well as

administrative staff. Currently, we

have selected a total of 172

professionals, including 148 full-time

research scientists in the four

member institutions and 24

outstanding external collaborators

(part-time research scientists or

senior visiting scholars). iChEM

converges a great number of

outstanding research scientists,

including 11 members of the CAS

(MCAS), 11 “Thousand Talents

Program” awardees, 13 “Cheung Kong”

scholars, 58 “National Distinguished Young Scientist Grant” awardees, 26 “Thousand Youth Talents

Program” awardees, and 22 “Excellent Young Scientist Foundation of NSFC” awardees. In addition to the

members from the four member institutions, a number of well-recognized scientists joined the Center

as external collaborators. For example, international experts include Prof. Peidong Yang from the UC-

Berkeley, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, USA and Associate Editor of J. Am.

Chem. Soc. (the top 10 Chemist among 100 world-wide distinguished chemists by Thomson Reuters in

2011), et. al.

The four member institutions have excellence in operating collaborative laboratories and conducting

high impact research and have successfully operated fourteen national or state key laboratories. The

affiliated "State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces (PCOSS, XMU)," has been ranked

one of the top national A-grade laboratory for consecutively five times (in 25 years) in 1994, 1999, 2004,

and 2009, 2014 by the Ministry of Science & Technology of China. In 2009 and 2014, the PCOSS, along

with the State Key Laboratory of Catalysis (SKLC, DICP) and the State Key Laboratory of Molecular Reaction

iChEM organizational structure

72

About iChEM

Dynamics (SKLMRD, DICP), not only ranked top three laboratories in all of the national laboratories for

physical chemistry, but also occupied three out of six seats in the competition of outstanding national

laboratories for overall disciplines of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. The operation and research

style in these State Key Laboratories actually act like a preliminary model for the innovation center. Hence,

iChEM has great research capability and strength in both physical chemistry and chemical engineering.

The center has setup a council, an International Advisory Board (IAB), and an Academic Committee (AC)

that guides the iChEM Board of Directors’ decisions. The directors take full responsibility for the

operation and development of the center. Prof. Richard N. Zare (member of the American Academy of

Arts and Sciences) is the Chairman of the International Advisory Board, and Prof. Xueming Yang (MCAS,

DICP) is the Chairman of the Academic Committee; Prof. Zhong-Qun Tian (MCAS, XMU) is the Director of

iChEM, Prof. Dongyuan Zhao (MCAS, FDU) and Prof. Can Li (MCAS, DICP) are the co-directors who

contribute themselves completely for center wellness and do not hold any specific administrative duties.

In order to operate the center in high efficiency and strengthen the relationship among the four member

institutions, the center has setup a collaborative committee composed of directors, deputy directors, and

general secretaries as well as seven research platforms and two research departments that collaborate

on major innovative tasks. Among the research departments, the X-research department is responsible

for cross-over studies on prospective, non-consensus exploratory and wide-range disciplines (chemistry-

energy-materials-physics-life sciences-economics, etc.). A comprehensive administration department has

also been setup for administrative management and daily operation of the center.

iChEM is organized to facilitate collaborative efforts for targeting major challenges in energy chemistry

that individual group or university is unable to attain. The research at iChEM targets the frontier

challenges in energy chemistry, with a focus of the national energy need to gradually replace petroleum.

Research in iChEM focuses on optimal utilization of carbon resources, chemical energy storage and

conversion, and solar energy conversion chemistry. To support these aforementioned energy-oriented

subjects, basic research on synthesis and fabrication, theory and simulation, and instrumentation and

methodology are being carried out. To realize the new energy strategic objectives, “chemistry-based

materials as the carrier, energy as the objective” has been followed by the center; the core issues are to

develop alternatives to petroleum, to serve the country in terms of energy need and to pursue research

excellence.

iChEM established a multidimensional “iChEM Efficiency Enhancement System” to encourage flow and

collaboration among the members. This forms a comprehensive innovative culture and mechanism for

remote multidisciplinary collaboration. The system includes the iChEM Fellow system, the iChEM

Platforms, the iChEM Student system, the iChEM All Member Service system, the iChEM Discipline, and

the iChEM Lecture.

About iChEM

The iChEM Fellow system

The iChEM Fellow system encourages outstanding iChEM talents to interact with researchers of all levels

at multiple iChEM research departments. This attracts more talents to iChEM and significantly increases

collaboration among multiple units, platforms and mentors leading to an overall increase of research

quality and greater efficiency in human resources.

The iChEM Fellow System comprises of the following four categories:

1) iChEM Distinguished Professor (world-leading scientists: Nobel Prize Winner, Members of Academy

of Sciences, Thousand Talents Program awardees, et al. )

2) iChEM Professor (outstanding faculties home/abroad)

3) iChEM Research Associate (Post-doc experiences required)

4) iChEM Postdoc (Ph.D degree completed in recent 3 years).

iChEM provides the Fellow members with favorable working and living conditions, including research

spaces, faculty apartment, and all other needs and expenses incurred for building-up an active research

team.

The iChEM Platforms

The iChEM Platforms make use of the

unique academic and physical

resources of each collaborative unit to

construct distinctive research

platforms. The six distinctive

platforms are (i) optimal utilization of

carbon resources, (ii) chemical energy

storage and conversion, and (iii) solar

energy conversion chemistry (iv) new

energy material research (v)

technology transfer (vi)

characterization of energy system and

(vii) x-research The platforms amass

complementary resources both from

iChEM and externally and allocate them throughout iChEM’s multiple units and laboratories. Researchers

from different units are able to conduct collaborative research on the platforms to achieve a common

research goal.

The iChEM All Member Service system

The iChEM All Member Service system incorporates research, teaching and service into a comprehensive

and international-level evaluation system. It allows iChEM researchers to truly participate in the

organization and management of iChEM. Annual evaluation system and incentive mechanism (bonus at

end of the year) have been established to promote contribution of the researchers to the center.

About iChEM

Since the inception, iChEM has set its long-term strategies and short-term plans. We are glad to inform

that we have successfully accomplished the initial goals and targets accomplished by the combined

efforts as follows:

In the period of March 2013 to September 2019, iChEM members published more than 4000 papers, in

100+ top journals including 6 Science, and 5 Nature. iChEM has made a breakthrough progress in the

areas of optimal utilization of carbon resources, natural gas transformation, nanomaterial catalysts,

mesoporous materials, etc. iChEM has undertaken ten national key research projects with a total funding

of about 320 million, and successfully applied the construction of “New Automotive Energy Power Supply

National-local Joint Engineering Laboratory”, approved by the National Development and Reform

Commission. Prof. Konstantin Novoselov, 2010 Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics, joined iChEM as iChEM

Distinguished Professor.

iChEM has been pushing the establishment of "Energy Chemistry" in China and also in the international

arena by offering “Energy Chemistry” as a new major for graduate students (including 12 major courses

in total of 20 credits). In order to effectively promote collaborative innovation, the process for

recruitment of iChEM Research Associates, iChEM Fellows, and iChEM Postdoctoral Fellows has been

started globally and brought effective achievement to the center. As the leader in energy chemistry in-

novation in China, iChEM holds complete autonomy on talent recruitment, position setup and student

admissions quota. iChEM drafts its own recruitment standards, position goals and recruitment protocols.

iChEM also attracts and selects outstanding candidates for doctoral study with excellent mentor teams,

challenging research projects, and generous scholarships. The iChEM Student system has been

developed for sharing equipment, information, and research resources among the member institutions,

including high quality lectures and student exchange programs, course credit transfer, student training,

student summer camp and summer school. The joint supervision PhD program has been setup and

conducted in the way that it allows PhD students to carry out their research at all national and

international collaborated institutions. For example, already 3 batches of undergraduate students were

sent to UCSB-IEE to be a part of knowledge transfer between iChEM and IEE since 2013. Also, from 2015,

iChEM has planned to annually allow up to six iChEM members at Ph.D student, Postdoc, or faculty level

to visit UCSB-IEE for joint collaborations for a period of 6-12 months. Strict student annual evaluation

policy (scholarship depends on the evaluation) has also been setup to direct the students moving toward

their goals.

iChEM has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for collaboration with five International

Institutes/Research Centers as the follows: Chemistry Department of UC-Berkeley, Solar Energy Research

Center at University of North Carolina, Center for Electrochemistry (CE) at University of Texas-Austin,

Wolfson Materials and Catalysis Center at University of Oxford, and Centre for Advanced 2D

Materials/Graphene Research Centre at National University of Singapore. It has been making great

progress on signing MOU with Mainz Institute of Microtechnology in German. Under the framework of

MOU, already 3 batches of undergraduate students were sent to UCSB-IEE to be a part of knowledge

transfer between iChEM and IEE since 2013. On October 2014, the Faraday Discussion 176 (FD176)

meeting in Xiamen University was the first FD meeting to be held in Asia since 1947. iChEM has sponsored

the FD176 with topic on “Next-Generation Materials for Energy Chemistry: From Atomic, Molecular, Nano

to Meso Scale”, accompanied by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). iChEM and DICP founded the

75

About iChEM

“Journal of Energy Chemistry” with SCI impact factor 2.352, which is the highest among the SCI-indexed

Chinese Chemistry journals.

The iChEM lectures by Nobel Laureate/members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences were

attended by all the iChEM members at 4 different locations simultaneously via multi-video conference

system. For example, Prof. Jean-Marie, a 1987 Nobel Laureate and the “Father of Supramolecular

Chemistry”, and Prof. Michael Grätzel, a famous photoelectric chemist and pioneering of dye-sensitized

nanocrystalline solar cells, have delivered wonderful presentations of their work to the iChEM members

via the high-fidelity video-conference system.

iChEM has also constructed a high-fidelity video-conference system covering all remote platforms shared

among the iChEM member institutions to promote the immediate communication and discussion for

development strategy, project organization and talents recruitment, as well as sharing of courses and

academic lectures. iChEM has established All Member Service and Incentive system to fully mobilize all

the members to actively participate in the management of the center.

With our persistent effort, we believe that iChEM will gather and foster a number of top-notch

international academic talents and innovative team leaders to make enormous original scientific

achievements on energy material chemistry and build a world-class scientific research center. It is hoped

that all iChEM members will contribute their best to iChEM planning and operations. In particular, we

welcome suggestions and advices on future scientific research directions as well as the administration

and management of iChEM. Your participation is critical to our success.
