报告简介：

The ultimate or end point of functional materials development is the realization of strong　coupling between all energy regimes (optical, electronic, magnetic, and elastic), enabling　the same material to be utilized for multifunctionalities. Emerging functional and　responsive materials provide solutions to some of the current challenges in our future　emerging technology needs, and would potentially lead to high power conversion　efficiency system and high energy density materials at low cost. A challenging task in　this area is to manipulate nanostructured materials and assemble them into desired　structural forms, so that their unique physical and chemical properties can be harvested　for renewable energy conversion and multisensing capabilities. In this talk, I will discuss　my group’s recent research on the rational design of nanostructured materials and　responsive molecular functional crystals combined with the development of “bottom-up”　strategies. The key aim of this talk is to provide a unique new insight into the materialsby-design and self-assembly to future prospects
