报告内容简介:

        Appreciating the abundant carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and other resources that are embedded in wet waste, wastewater treatment is evolving from the “removal-centered” approach to more “recovery-oriented” processes. In the meantime, the abundant and low-cost electricity from renewable sources brought new opportunities to convert “electrons to molecules”. How to leverage such cheap renewable electrons to maximize waste and CO2 valorization has become an emerging research front. In this talk, I will share some recent progress in identifying the synergy between renewable energy and waste carbon valorization, such as renewable H2 production to fill a major gap on energy storage and sustainable manufacturing, new electroactive membrane electrodes for high efficiency resource recovery, and novel wood-based membranes for energy and water applications.
