Dr. Zhang’s research is highlyinterdisciplinary. His current research interests focus on the (crystal-)phaseengineering of nanomaterials and controlled epitaxial growth ofheterostructures, including the synthesis of ultrathin two-dimensionalnanomaterials (e.g. metal nanosheets, graphene, metal dichalcogenides,metal-organic frameworks, covalent organic frameworks, etc.), novel metallicand semiconducting nanomaterials, novel amorphous nanomaterials and theirhybrid composites, for various applications such as catalysis, clean energy,(opto-)electronic devices, nano- and biosensors, and water remediation.

讲座摘要：

In this talk, I will summarize the recentresearch on the phase engineering of nanomaterials in my group. It includes thefirst-time synthesis of hexagonal-close packed (hcp) Au nanosheets (AuSSs) ongraphene oxide, the first-time synthesis of 4H hexagonal phase Au nanoribbons(NRBs), the synthesis of crystal-phase heterostructured 4H/fcc Au nanorods, theepitaxial growth of metals with novel phases on the aforementioned Aunanostructures, and the synthesis of amorphous/ crystalline hetero-phase Pd nanosheets.In addition, the first-time synthesis of 1T'-MoS2 and 1T'-MoSe2 crystals havebeen achieved. Moreover, the phase transformation of transition metaldichalcogenide nanomaterials during our developed electrochemicalLi-intercalation method will also be introduced. Interestingly, thelithiation-induced amorphization of Pd3P2S8 is also achieved. Currently, mygroup focuses on the (crystal) phase-based properties and applications incatalysis, surface enhanced Raman scattering, waveguide, photothermal therapy,chemical and biosensing, clean energy etc., which we believe are quite uniqueand very important not only in fundamental studies, but also in practicalapplications. Importantly, the concepts of crystal-phase heterostructures andhetero-phase nanomaterials are proposed.
