DESCRIPTION:Titre : Developing Energy Harvesting and Storage Systems throug
 h Rational DesignEndroit : Pavillon Roger-Gaudry\, salle G-815 à 11 h

\nCette conférence sera prononcée par Nikolay Kornienko\, Ph.D. d
 e l'Université de Cambridge.
\nRésumé : The challenge of converting int
 ermittent electrical power into storable energy dense fuels lies at the ne
 xus of renewable energy research. Not only developing but also understandi
 ng catalysts for such fuel-forming reactions is key to realizing practical
  solar to chemical technologies. Within this framework\, my research is dr
 iven through an iterative cycle of catalyst design\, synthesis\, character
 ization\, and understanding. I first apply this cycle to a series of amorp
 hous catalysts which electrolyze water into hydrogen and oxygen. I discuss
  how state-of-the-art electrocatalyst structure and function is elucidated
  through the use of novel in situ techniques\, and how such knowledge is u
 sed to spur next generation materials through rational design. Next\, to t
 ackle the challenge of converting waste carbon dioxide into carbon-based f
 uels\, I design a series of energy conversion systems through an interdisc
 iplinary approach\, integrating materials\, chemistry\, and biology. Here\
 , I demonstrate how synergy between various classes of catalysts (molecula
 r + heterogeneous\, and heterogeneous + biological) gives rise to new hybr
 id materials with unprecedented performance in the context of solar/electr
 ical driven conversion of CO2 to fuels.
