DESCRIPTION:I lead an Energy Materials and Devices research group at the U
 niversity of Maryland\, College Park\, with a major mission to address the
  CO2 challenge. Our current research interests include (1) ultrahigh-tempe
 rature synthesis of new materials and their use in advanced energy devices
 \, (2) beyond Li-ion batteries for transportation and the grid\, and (3) w
 ood nanoscience and nanotechnologies. \n\nIn this seminar I will share my 
 group’s research and development of electrified ultrahigh-temperature sy
 nthesis as a novel platform for discovering and manufacturing new energy a
 nd environmental materials. I will start with the design and fabrication o
 f ultrahigh temperature heaters\, followed by two specific research topics
 \, including high entropy nanoparticles (Science 2018\, 359\, 1489\, Cover
 ) and a high-performance battery membrane (Science 2020\, 358\, 521\, Cove
 r). Then I will give an overview of wood nanoscience and nanotechnologies 
 and a few specific examples including solid state ion conductors (Nature 2
 021) and radiation cooling (Science 2019\, 364\, 760)\n\nBio: Liangbing Hu
  received his B.S. in physics from the University of Science and Technolog
 y of China in 2002\, where he worked on colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) m
 aterials for three years. He did his Ph.D. (2002–2007) at UCLA\, focusin
 g on carbon-nanotube-based nanoelectronics. In 2006\, he joined Unidym\, I
 nc. as a co-founding scientist\, leading the development of roll-to-roll p
 rinted carbon nanotube films and device integration in touch screens\, LCD
 s\, flexible OLEDs\, and solar cells. He did his postdoc at Stanford Unive
 rsity from 2009–2011\, where he worked on various energy storage technol
 ogies using nanomaterials/nanostructures. Currently\, he is a Herbert Rabi
 n Distinguished Professor at the University of Maryland\, College Park. Hi
 s research group focuses on materials innovations\, device integration\, a
 nd manufacturing\, with ongoing research activities on electrified ultrahi
 gh-temperature synthesis\, energy storage beyond Li-ion batteries\, and no
 vel wood nanotechnologies. \n\nDr. Hu has published ~400 research papers (
 including 10 Science and Nature). He has received many awards\, including:
  the Highly Cited Researchers list by Clarivate Analytics (2016-2021)\, a 
 Blavatnik National Awards Honoree\; the TAPPI Nano Middle Career Award (20
 19)\; 2018/2020/2021 R&D 100 Winner\, the Nano Letters Young Investigator 
 Lectureship (2017)\, the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award
  (2016)\, and the Air Force Young Investigator Award (AFOSR YIP\, 2013). H
 e is an MRS fellow. \n
