| Abstract Scope |
I will share my group’s research and development of electrified ultrahigh-temperature synthesis as a novel platform for discovering and manufacturing new energy and environmental materials. I will start with the design and fabrication of ultrahigh temperature heaters, followed by two specific research topics, including thermal shock synthesis of high entropy nanoparticles (Science 2018, 359, 1489, Cover) and ultrafast high temperature sintering (UHS) of membranes and coatings (Science 2020, 358, 521, Cover). I will also briefly discuss our recent effort on rapid programmable chemical synthesis (Nature, 2022, Cover, CH4 pyrolysis and NH3 synthesis) and ultrahigh temperature (~ 8000K) stable plasma (USP, Nature 2023). |
