报告内容简介：

Electrochemicalproductionof high-valuable chemicals/fuels from atmospheric molecules (O₂, H₂O, CO₂, NO₃^-) is a clean and sustainable route compared to traditional chemical manufacturing approaches. The electrochemical approach promisingly leads to defossilization, decarbonization, and decentralization of the chemical industry. A critical step towards the practical implementation of the electrochemical approaches is the design of an appropriate electrocatalytic interface and electrocatalytic cell configuration toward specific catalytic reactions. In this talk, I will introduce our recent progress in catalytic interface engineering and chemical reactor design for the practical production of valuable chemicals and fuels, such as hydrogen peroxide from oxygen, and acetic acid from CO₂.
