报告摘要：
The design of nanoscale alloyed catalysts plays a critical role in harnessing catalytic and electrocatalytic synergies for many reactions, the understanding of which constitutes important fronts of research and development in clean energy (e.g., fuel cells) and sustainable environment (e.g., emission control systems).This talk will first discuss some of our recent in-situ/operando studies of nanoalloy catalysts in catalytic and electrocatalytic reactions, aiming at gaining fundamental insights into the correlation of the catalytic or electrocatalytic synergies with the size, shape, composition, and surface sites.This is followed by discussions of their applications in fuel cells.The market of automotive and transportation fuel cells is mainly driven by high fuel efficiency, long driving range, fast refueling, stringent emission standard, and increasing government initiatives. The operation of fuel cells depends on activity and stability of catalysts, but the current catalyst cost is projected to the largest single component of the cost of PEM fuel cell manufactured at high volume due to the use of high loading of platinum.In addition, there is a high demand of effective emission control system catalysts to address the pollutant emissions from use of fossil fuels, which pose increasing risk of cancer and other diseases in humans and impact air quality and global climate.There is a huge market for emission control catalysts to meet the ever-tightening emission control standards.Other relevant nanomaterials and their applications will also be briefly discussed.
