报告摘要：
Heterogeneous catalytic systems based on nanomaterials have advanced energy conversion technology development. This talk will present our recent developments in the nanoscale solid-material based catalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions. Our continuous research efforts have led to significant advancements, incorporating both active catalytic sites and relevant microenvironment perturbations. In our design, we considered interior strain from solid phase, lattice-mismatch-induced strain, plasmonic resonance-induced electric fields, and the heterostructure-induced interface barrier and their effects on the catalysis. These studies highlight the tunability of catalyst surface activity through materials integration, further enhanced by manipulating single-to-multiple local reaction environments. On the other hand, In this talk, we also highlight the transformative role of data-driven methodologies in materials discovery. Moving beyond traditional trial-and-error methods, we integrate machine learning and automation to accelerate innovation. This includes a robotic platform for the automated synthesis and characterization of colloidal nanocrystals, as well as high-throughput computational tools for predicting atomic catalysts for carbon dioxide reduction.
