Abstract
The design of new functional nanomaterials for enhancing oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is highly desirable for promoting the development of fuel cell and lithium air battery devices. In this seminar, I will focus on my recent advances in rational design and controlled synthesis of high-quality multicomponent nanocrystals for enhancing ORR. I will start with three examples on how to engineer FePt NWs, FePtPd/FePt core/shell NWs and graphene-FePt NPs composite for getting advanced Pt-based catalysts for ORR with extremely high activity and stability. After that, I will move to non-Pt catalysts such as graphene-Co/CoO NPs and M/CuPd NPs (M=Ag, Au), which exhibit comparable and even higher ORR activity and stability than commercial Pt catalyst.
