报告介绍 | Abstract:
In this talk, I’ll give an overview of research in my group on renewable energy applications, covering three areas, from photovoltaics, to stress-controlled catalysis and plasmonics. For organic photovoltaics, we have developed first-principles based multiscale approaches to predict carrier mobility and exciton diffusion in disordered organic materials. For emerging perovskite-based photovoltaics, we have developed an efficient time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method to examine the dissociation of charge-transfer excitons at perovskite-TiO2 interface. In terms of catalysis, we utilize the recently developed multiscale QM/MM method to understand stress-controlled catalysis on core/shell nanoparticles and nanowires for oxygen reduction and CO2 photo-electro-reduction reaction, respectively. Finally, if time allows, I will touch upon our recent development of time-dependent orbital-free DFT method which allows us to study plasmonic resonances of metallic nanostructures in large length-scales that are relevant to experiments.
