Dr. Yimin Wu invited to give a talk at University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
ICICS and the聽聽co-hosted a talk by聽Professor Yimin Wu聽of the University of 蓝莓视频鈥檚 Institute for Nanotechnology on December 9. Professor Wu described novel techniques pioneered in his lab that combine X-ray and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to understand聽 2-dimensional materials such as graphene at the atomic level, then modify them for practical uses. One such use is an artifical leaf that mimics photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide into methanol and oxygen, rather than glucose and oxygen as occurs in nature. This 鈥渓eaf鈥 could be used to capture carbon dioxide from high-yield sources such as thermal power plants, and convert it into methanol as an alternative fuel source.
