Abstract:

Nanoengineered materials have found increasing applications in green energy applications such as fuel cells, lithium–air batteries, and solar cells, and in biomedical applications such as medical diagnostics, disease detection, and drug delivery. A key challenge to these applications is the development of abilities to control the nanoscale structures for achieving the desired functional properties. This report will discuss some recent results of our investigations of sizes, shapes, compositions, and structures of metal and alloy nanoparticles and assemblies for fuel cell catalysis and biomolecular recognition.

Brief biography:

Dr.Chuan-Jian Zhongis a full Professor at State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton. After his graduate study at Xiamen University, he was first a Max Planck Society postdoctoral fellow at Fritz-Haber-Institute in Germany with Dr. Karl Doblhofer and Professor Gerhard Ertl (2007-Nobel Laureate), and then a postdoctoral scientist at University of Minnesota in USA with Professor L. Miller. Following his postdoctoral work, he was an associate scientist in US Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory at Iowa State University working with Professor Marc Porter for five years before joining the faculty ofState University of New York in 1998.

He is a tenured full professor in Chemistry and Materials Science, and currently serves as associate director of the Institute for Materials Research. His research interests are in the interdisciplinary areas of analytical chemistry, materials science, catalysis, electrochemistry, and emerging fields of nanotechnology. Many of his research projects involve nanostructured materials for chemical/biomedical detection and green energy which have been supported by federal funding agencies such as National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense, by nonprofit funding agencies such as Petroleum Research Fund of American Chemical Society and World Gold Council, and by industrial funding agencies such as 3M , Honda and UTC Power.

He was recipients of a number of awards, including National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development Award, SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, SUNY Innovation, Creation and Discovery Award, and 3M Faculty Research Award. He is a Guest Professor of Xiamen University and Hunan University. He serves in the Editorial Board of a new nanotechnology journal (Journal of Nanotechnology). He is founder of a nanotechnology start-up company in New York. He has authored over 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers and 6 book chapters. He is an inventor of 10 US patents. He has given over 150 invited talks at international conferences, universities and industries.
