报告简介：

The electrochemical reaction process and the corresponding electrocatalysts play an important role in the process of energy conversion. Electrorefining (electrocatalytic-refinery) is a new concept corresponding to thermal catalysis in traditional petroleum refining. By means of theoretical calculation and experiment, we have designed and developed a series of high catalytic activity nano-electrocatalysts for key electrorefining reactions, such as water electrolysis, carbon dioxide conversion, urea oxidation, ethylene oxidation and so on. In this process, the nature of these electrochemical reactions and the activity origin of the corresponding catalysts were revealed by means of in-situ spectral measurement, physical and chemical characterization of materials, electrochemical reaction rate measurement, and DFT adsorption energy calculation. At the same time, we also propose some design principles of catalysts for the development of a wider range of electrorefining processes.
