Email: byshen@suda.edu.cn
Office: Room 3203 (2nd floor), 909 building
Research interests:
Controlled synthesis of various porous materials (zeolites, MOFs, COFs)
Catalysis and energy storage based on these porous materials
Atomic TEM imaging of beam-sensitive materials and small molecules
In situ TEM towards catalysis, mechanics, electronics and energy storage (Lab-in-TEM)
Achievements:
I have been engaged in the research of nanomaterials and advanced electron microscopy. Since 2017, I have assisted the purchase, installation, start-up and daily operation of a Cs-corrected S/TEM in the Department of Chemical Engineering of Tsinghua University. As the leader of our microscopic team, we developed the iDPC-STEM for various beam-sensitive and light-element materials based on this Cs-corrected S/TEM. We have achieved the highest imaging level in the world for zeolites, metal-organic frameworks and confined small molecules. Such electron microscopy has been applied into the applications of adsorption, catalysis and energy storage. Articles published as the first author include: Nature, Nature Communications (2), Advanced Materials (4). In just three years, we have established a high-efficiency, high-quality and high-yield electron microscope center, aiming for the leading level of advanced electron microscopy.
Positions:
We are eager to welcome new excellent Postdocs, Ph.D. students and research assistants. To apply, candidates should send their curriculum vitae, a motivation letter, a list of publications (if any), and the name and email address of three academic referees to Prof. Boyuan SHEN (byshen@suda.edu.cn)
