Title: Electrochemical Production of Green Hydrogen: from lab to industry

Abstract: Our society is facing increasing challenge on various issues. Among them, energy and environment are listed as the top two that need to be solved immediately, where catalysis may play an important role. It has been recognized that “Green Hydrogen” from photo-/electro-catalytic water splitting may be “Our Future” because it is clean and can be used as reactant for production of fertilizer and reduction of pollutants, fuels, etc.. The industrial production of green hydrogen for practical applications on large scale shall bring the harmony between nature and human being. Therefore, electrocatalysis of water has been attracting increasing attention for hydrogen production because of its green, easily adoptable, and scale-up natures. However, the cost-to-energy efficiency is still limited for practical applications due to various factors. In this talk, we shall present the design, fabrication and possible industry production of novel electrocatalysts for oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (HER and OER). We found that: (1) the design principles of HER and OER catalysts, (2) the fabrication of electrocatalysts for water splitting, (3) the surface reconstruction and phase transition of electrocatalyst in OER and HER, (4) the role of multi-phase heterostructure on the highly catalytic activity, (5) the in-situ characterization for the active sites in the HER and OER processes, and (6) anodized steel as the most promising electrocatalysts for overall water splitting with high efficiency. Our demonstrated that multi-metal compound systems were catalytically active for OER and HER in electrochemical energy devices, which may find practical application in hydrogen-energy technologies.

Experience: Dr. Hui Pan is a professor and the Associate Director of the Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering at the University of Macau. He got his PhD degree in Physics from the National University of Singapore in 2006. From 2006 to 2013, he worked at National University of Singapore as a Research Fellow, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA) as a Postdoctoral Fellow, and Institute of High Performance Computing (Singapore) as a Senior Scientist, respectively. He joined the University of Macau as an assistant professor in 2013. In his research, a combined computational and experimental method is used to design and fabricate novel nanomaterials for applications in energy conversion and storage (such as electro-/photo-catalysis, water splitting, N2/CO2 reduction, supercapacitors, hydrogen storage, solar cell, and fuel cells), electronic devices, spintronics, and quantum devices. He has published more than 260 papers in international peer-reviewed journals. The total citation is ~ 13000. Additionally, he is the author of 5 book chapters and the inventor of 4 USA and 6 China patents. His present h-index is 58.

Title: Microstructure, Zeta Potential and Enhanced Photocatalytic Dye Degradation Performances of Mesoporous Flower Shaped Nb Doped CeO2 Bimetallic Oxide Nanostructures Decorated with Reduced Graphene Oxide.

Abstract: The unique features of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) enable their applications in the field of photocatalysis as well as unique electrical properties. In the present research work, a novel series of Nb doped CeO2 incorporated with various weight percentage of rGO (2, 8 and 12 wt %) were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The structural and morphological features of nanomaterials (NMs) investigated by using different analytical techniques namely, XRD (X-ray diffraction), UV-visible, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), EDX (energy dispersive X-ray), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller). The XRD analysis present polycrystalline mixed phase of tetragonal/cubic crystal structure and microstructure analysis showed flower shaped morphology having mesoporous nature. The addition of rGO results in the increased specific surface area and pore diameter of the NC. Redshift in optical absorbance results with decrease in direct optical band gap as rGO concentration increases in NMs. The EDX/XPS studies showed the chemical composition and oxidation states of elements NB, Ce, O, C in NMs. Zeta potential studies showed increased poly disparity with increase in the mobility of the NMs. The zeta potential varies from 88.1 mV to 110.8 mV as the rGO concentration increases on bimetallic oxide NMs. Further, Photocatalytic dye degradation studies of rGO (2, 8 and 12 wt %): Nb2O3@CeO2 against Methylene blue (NM), Rodhamaine B (RB) and Sudan 1 dye showed increased photocatalytic activity. The Photocatalytic performances increase with increase in rGO concentration on bimetallic oxide NMs. The present work projects the composites can be better candidate to improve photocatalytic performances and an excellent material for charge transport capability.
