On August 29, Prof. Il-Doo Kim of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) was invited to our institute and gave a lecture entitled "Innovation in nanomaterials synthesis: from lab to Commercialization".The report was hosted by Associate Researcher Zhenjie Xue, and all the faculty members and students attended the academic exchange.

Before the presentation, Associate Researcher Zhenjie Xue, on behalf of the institute , expressed a warm welcome to Prof. Il-Doo Kim and briefly introduced Prof. Kim's academic background, research direction and scientific achievements.

In the presentation, Prof. Kim firstly introduced the group's recent work on the synthesis of a variety of novel composites containing highly thermally stable multi-elemental nanoparticles and the integration of stable single-atom catalysts onto robust support nanomaterials to ensure efficient catalytic performance.This is followed by an in-depth discussion of various applications employing electrospun polymer fibers, metal oxide fibers, and carbon fibers, outlining a rapid optimization process for catalyst attachment to electrospun nanofiber backbone structures.Finally, a case study of the process from laboratory research to commercialization highlights the use of custom electrospinning equipment and provides insights into the synthesis of innovative materials using electrospinning technology.

After Prof. Kim's patient and detailed explanation, everyone actively asked Prof. Kim questions and had in-depth exchanges.This report provided a good learning opportunity for our teachers and students, not only make the teachers and students to develop the academic vision, but also enhance the ability of scientific and technological innovation to build a solid bridge for the future development of related scientific research to provide effective help.
