Abstract

The precise manipulation of quantum states of matter at the atomic level holds significant promise across a wide spectrum of modern technologies, spanning from next-generation nanodevices to nanocatalysis. In this talk, I will first share our recent progress in the atomic-scale engineering of quantum materials and exploring quantum nanoscience. Additionally, I will discuss about the rational design of atomic-precision nanocatalysis, with an aim to establish the correlation between their local structures and catalytic response. The advancements made in synthesizing and developing these advanced materials with atomic-precision surpass traditional design strategies, paving the way for a transformative shift in both chemical production and energy conversion, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future.
