Yuan. After a Marie Curie Fellowship at EPFL in Switzerland with Prof. Paul Dyson, he joined National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2012 and set up the Green Catalysis Lab. His group focuses on the catalytic transformation of renewable resources and heterogeneous catalysis. Among the awards he received include “Energy, Environment and Sustainability Early Career Award” from Royal Society of Chemistry in 2017, “Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering Lectureship Award” from American Chemistry Society in 2018, “Young Researcher Award” from NUS in 2019, “NRF Investigatorship” from the National Research Foundation in 2022, and “Outstanding Mentorship Award” from NUS in 2025. Currently, he serves as Editor-in Chief for Molecular Catalysis, President of Singapore Catalysis Society, and Vice-president of Asia-Pacific Association of Catalysis Societies.
报告简介：
The transition toward a sustainable energy future relies on efficient and scalable routes for hydrogen (H2) production, storage, and utilization. We present two catalytic strategies that exemplify this vision: ammonia cracking for H2 release and CO2 hydrogenation for carbon recycling. To overcome sluggish ammonia cracking kinetics, we developed a tungsten filament “light-bulb” reactor operating at up to 1,800 K, achieving ultrafast ammonia cracking and 99.995% conversion without membrane separation. Its sharp radial temperature gradient enables efficient heat use and low power consumption with exceptionally compact design, making it ideal for distributed H₂ generation. For CO₂ hydrogenation to methanol, we integrated H₂ activation and delivery into a hybrid Pd/CNT + ZnZrOx catalyst. The CNT network transports Pd-activated H₂ to remote ZnZrOx sites, boosting hydrogenation kinetics tenfold over conventional systems. This design achieves record activity and 600 h stability, demonstrating the promise of hybrid catalytic designs for scalable carbon utilization. Together, these studies exemplify how innovative catalytic and reactor strategies can reshape H2-based energy conversion, paving the way toward a sustainable fuel future.
