Seminar, Lecture, Talk
Speaker: Professor Martin PUMERA
Institution: Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague
Hosted by Professor Jianzhen YU & Professor Haibin SU
Abstract
In this talk, I will discuss various electrochemical properties of 2D nanomaterials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, and black phosphorus. The electrochemistry of graphene and its related materials is far more interesting and complex than anticipated, especially when one depicts graphene based on the IUPAC definition. This is because the real world graphene-based materials contain defects, adatoms, and various oxygen functional groups. In similar fashion, electrochemistry of layered transition metal dichalcogenides depends on many parameters, such as its phase, oxygen functionalities (impurities), metal impurities and so on.

About the speaker
Professor Martin Pumera is the Director of the Center for the Advanced Functional Nanorobots and a tenured faculty member at University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague. He received his Ph.D. at Charles University, Czech Republic, in 2001. After two postdoctoral stays (in the United States, Spain), he became tenured group leader at the National Institute for Materials Science, Japan, in 2006. In 2010 Martin joined Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where he worked as tenured associate professor for almost a decade. Prof. Pumera has broad interests in nanomaterials and microsystems, in the specific areas of electrochemistry and synthetic chemistry of 2D nanomaterials, nanotoxicity, micro and nanomachines, and 3D printing. Martin is “2017 & 2018 Highly Cited Researcher” by Clarivate Analytics (as the only chemist in the Czech Republic). He published over 600 papers which received more than 20,000 citations. Martin's h-index is 82.
