Title: Construction and application of interaction in photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide system
Abstract: using solar energy to reduce CO2 into carbon-neutral energy such as CO, formic acid or methane is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide renewable energy. However, this process involves complex proton and electron transfer processes, and there is a competitive reaction for hydrogen production. It is urgent to design a photocatalytic system to realize an efficient and selective CO2 reduction process. With the advantages of clear structure and highly adjustable molecular structure, molecular photocatalytic systems with transition metal complexes have been widely designed and used in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. On the one hand, transition metal complexes can be used as photosensitizers to realize the transmission of photogenerated electrons. It can be used as molecular catalysts to accept photogenerated electrons to catalyze the reduction of CO2. At present, a large number of studies are committed to achieving high catalytic performance. However, this goal is quite challenging because it is limited by many factors in the photocatalytic system, including the catalytic performance of the catalyst, the photophysical properties of the photosensitizer, and the electron transfer between the photosensitizer and the catalyst. The optimization of the structure and performance of catalysts or photosensitizers has attracted extensive attention. On this basis, it is expected to further improve the performance of photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide by strengthening the electron transfer between photosensitizers and catalysts. In view of this, the report will describe the construction and characterization of different types of interactions, so as to build a molecular system with superior catalytic performance for photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide and explore the mechanism of dynamic interaction in photocatalysis and its contribution to electron transport.

Title: Biogeographic pattern, community construction and system function of microorganisms
Abstract: Microorganisms are the most diverse and abundant life forms on earth. They are one of the main contributors to ecosystem services and functions, and promote the energy and material cycle of the system. To explore the interaction between microbial species, the maintenance of species diversity and the impact of the temporal and spatial dynamics of the community on the system function is the core theoretical problem of microbial ecology and environmental microbiology for a long time. Combined with omics, machine learning and system model, we have studied and discussed relevant theoretical issues in diversified systems (such as extreme and polluted habitats; forest, grassland and agricultural natural ecosystems; experimental system of global change, etc.), It provides an important theoretical basis for predicting the response of microbial communities to environmental stress and global change and the evolution of system functions driven by them.
About the reporter: Dr. Kuang Jialiang received his doctorate in ecology from Sun Yat-sen University in 2014. Now he is engaged in post-doctoral research in the Institute of environmental genetics of the University of Oklahoma. With a series of basic theoretical issues of community ecology as the core, Dr. Kuang studies the effects of ecological regulatory factors (such as environmental stress, global climate change, land-use change, etc.) on the temporal and spatial pattern, dynamics and species interaction of microbial communities based on molecular biological technologies such as high-throughput sequencing, functional gene chip and isotope tracing. By exploring the response of the microbial community, this paper further reveals how ecological factors mediate the process of community construction and affect the function of the microbial-driven system. So far, 26 papers have been published in SCI journals, including 8 papers of the first/corresponding author, and three of them have been published in ecological top journals global change biology and ISME journal.

Title: Preparation of large-area organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells
Abstract: The current certification efficiency of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells has far exceeded the minimum efficiency of commercial profit demand. However, the large-area and low-cost preparation process is still the bottleneck of perovskite commercial application, so it has become one of the main hot spots of current research. Although there are many preparation processes of perovskite at present, the methods that can be applied to large-scale production are still limited to a few. The soft film covering method is one of the more promising methods. This paper will focus on the following aspects: 1) the basic principle of soft film covering method; 2) Perovskite films prepared by solvent-free method; 3) Synthesis of perovskite single crystal and its application in the photodetector.

Title: Application of functional solid porous adsorbent in pollution and carbon reduction and collaborative atmospheric governance
Abstract: with the excessive emission of global greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and a series of gas pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), the world environment and energy crisis is becoming more and more serious. Under the background of national carbon neutralization and carbon peak, in order to reduce pollution and carbon, this study is committed to developing new and efficient room temperature adsorbents, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), mainly using porphyrin-based metal-organic frameworks (PMOFS) as CO2 and NO2 adsorbents, and realizing the capture and separation of CO2 and NO2 from simulated industrial waste gas. The bionic design concept is adopted, that is, the functional design of the adsorbent is carried out by using the special adsorption of human hemoglobin (containing porphyrin iron structure) to oxygen and carbon monoxide. The water-resistant and acid-resistant aluminum-based porphyrin metal-organic framework (Al-PMOF) is preferred as a template to embed the transition metal into the porphyrin ring as an adsorption site for adsorption. Combined with in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy, in-situ synchrotron radiation experiment and density functional theory calculation, the adsorption mechanism of feedback π bond between Al PMOF (m) and gas molecules is proposed for the first time. In addition, different kinds of new solid adsorbents, such as MOF and graphene oxide, are developed and designed( CuBTC@GO )The complex and layered bimetallic hydroxide (LDH) were used for the capture and removal of CO2 or NO2. The adsorption mechanisms of different kinds of adsorbents were compared. The development of these new solid adsorbents provides simple, direct, low-cost and low-energy new technologies and ideas for atmospheric governance under the national dual carbon goal.
