Abstract:

Atom-by-atom customization of nanomaterials represents the most ambitious dream of materials scientists. Such dream should be rooted in total synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs), where NPs could be produced at atomic precision with known step-by-step reactions.

Here, we present our recent progress on developing total synthesis routes and mechanisms for atomically precise metal nanoclusters (NCs). NCs are a family of ultrasmall particles with core size

Biography:

Dr. Qiaofeng Yao obtained his bachelor's degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2010 and PhD degree from National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2015. After that, he continued his research in NUS as a research fellow under co-supervision of Prof. Jianping Xie and Prof. Jim Yang Lee. His research focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, assembly and inter-cluster chemistry of noble metal nanoclusters, with particular interest in revealing molecular and/or atomic level mechanisms of these processes. He has published 1 book chapter and >50 papers (8 of them are highly-cited papers) in peer-reviewed journals including Nat. Commun., J. Am. Chem. Soc. and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. with an h-index of 27.
