报告摘要: Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as Graphene, h-BN and MoS2, are promising candidates in a number of advanced functional and structural applications, owing to their exceptional electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. In this talk, we first discuss the synthesis of high quality 2D materials and related heterostructures, with our current understanding of some underlying mechanisms. Next, we will report the electrical, opto-electrical and mechanical characterizations of the synthesized 2D materials, with an emphasis on the effect of defects on relevant properties. Finally, we will demonstrate some potential applications of selected 2D materials including using h-BN as high-performance oxidation resistant and anti-corrosion coatings, and 2D catalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions.
In the second part of the talk, together with editorial board member Prof. Zhiyuan Zhong, we will introduce the scope of Materials Today, the Elsevier flagship journal covering original research and reviews in the broader materials science community.
报告人简介：Jun Lou obtained B.E. and M.S. degrees in Materials Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University and Ohio State University, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Princeton Materials Institute at Princeton University. After a brief postdoc at Brown University, he joined Rice University, and directs the Nanomaterials, Nanomechanics and Nanodevices Lab (N3L). He is currently a full professor and the associate chair of the Department of Materials Science and NanoEngineering. Lou is an AFOSR Young Investigator and a recipient of Charles Duncan Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement at Rice. He is the co-Editor-in-Chief of Materials Today (current impact factor = 21.695). Lou has extensive experience in the synthesis and design of 2D materials beyond Graphene and other nanomaterials; mechanical and multi-physics characterization, and fabrication of advanced material systems and devices. He currently serves as the site director for the NSF industry university collaborative research center (IUCRC) of Atomically Thin Multifunctional Coatings (ATOMIC) that has 12 member companies, exploring potential applications of 2D materials in different industries with commercial partners.
