First, an overview of active research activities in my research group located at University of Maryland Energy Research Center, including wood materials toward sustainability, 3000K high temperature materials and processing, and beyond-Li ion batteries. Then, the recent development on assembly and functionalization strategies of wood nanocellulose aimed at specific properties, with an eye toward high impact applications including energy, electronics, building materials and water treatment, including nanomanufacturing and light management in transparent nanopaper for optoelectronics; transparent and light guiding wood; mechanical properties of densely packed nanocellulose for lightweight structural materials; artificial tree for high-performance water desalination and solar steam generations; mesoporous, three-dimensional carbon derived from wood for advanced batteries; and high performance thermal insulation materials.
Prof. Liangbing Hu, the associate professor and the founding director of the Center for Advanced Center for Advanced Renewable Biomaterials at the University of Maryland College Park. He received his B.S. in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2002, then did his Ph.D at UCLA, then joined Unidym as a co-founding scientist in 2006, and worked at Stanford University from 2009-2011. His research interests include nanomaterials and nanostructures, roll-to-roll nanomanufacturing, energy storage focusing on solid-state batteries and Na ion batteries, and printed electronics, has published over 250 research papers (including Science and Nature in 2018) and given more than 80 invited talks. The awards he received includes the KINGFA Young Investigator Award Lecture, the Nano Letters Young Investigator Lectureship, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, ACS Division of Energy and Fuel Emerging Investigator Award, and etc.
