【报告内容简介】
Dr. Creager’s research is in the general area of electrochemical science with an emphasis on electrochemical energy storage and conversion. Pristine graphene has long been thought of as a near-perfect barrier material, blocking transmission of all species having electron clouds surrounding atomic nuclei and forming molecular bonds. Proton transmission is especially interesting because in the absence of solvent, the proton is unique among chemical species in that it is a nuclear particle with no electron cloud. Activation energies for both proton and deuteron] and which informs ongoing efforts aimed at understanding the nature of the active sites where protons/deuterons pass through graphene.
