报告简介：
In this talk, Prof. Sun will start with the concept of how nature keeps sustainable development via catalytic cycles, such as carbon cycles and oxygen cycles. He will focus on the importance of water splitting in Photosystem II, the possible mechanisms of O-O bond formation in nature, followed by the design and synthesis of efficient man-made molecular water oxidation catalysts. He will also show the recent development of material-based water oxidation catalysts with well-defined active site structures. Photoelectrochemical cells for total water splitting will be discussed as well.

报告人简介：
Prof. Licheng Sun received his PhD degree in 1990 from Dalian University of Technology (DUT), and went to Germany as a postdoc at Max-Planck-Institut für Strahlenchemie with Dr. Helmut Görner (1992-1993), and then as an Alexander von Humboldt postdoc at Freie Universität Berlin (1993-1995) with Prof. Dr. Harry Kurreck. He moved to KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm in 1995 as a postdoc with Prof. Björn Åkermark, became an assistant professor in 1997 at KTH, associate professor in 1999 at the Department of Organic Chemistry, Stockholm University, and full professor in 2004 at Department of Chemistry, KTH. Since January 2018, he has been the national distinguished professor of the Swedish Research Council (VR Rådsprofessor). He is currently a chair professor at Westlake University, China, and director of the Center of Artificial Photosynthesis for Solar Fuels at Westlake University.
