 a.m.201 LGRT\, UMass Amherst(Refreshments at 11:15 a.m.) Abstract:Fossilf
 uels have been used overwhelmingly across many industrial sectors in recen
 tdecades\, leading to significant CO2 and other pollutant emissions\,low e
 fficiency\, and unsustainability. Clean and efficient energy storage andco
 nversion via electrochemical reactionsassociated with hydrogen\, oxygen\, 
 and water have attracted substantialattention for energy and environmental
  sustainability. Among compelling energytechnologies\, proton exchange mem
 brane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are a promisingzero-emission power source for tr
 ansportation\, helping mitigate environmentalpollution and reduce fossil-f
 uel dependence. Meanwhile\, water electrolyzershave been clearly identifie
 d as the sustainable pathway to produce cheap greenhydrogen efficiently us
 ing renewable electricity. However\, current materials\,including catalyst
 s\, membranes\, and ionomers\, cannot meet the challengingtargets of high 
 efficiency\, low cost\, and long-term durability for hydrogenfuel cells an
 d water electrolyzers. Developing high-performance catalysts fromearth-abu
 ndant elements to replace current precious metals is crucial formaking the
 se hydrogen technologies viable for large-scale clean energyapplications. 
 This talk discusses recent advances\, achievements\, andperspectives on de
 veloping low-cost\, high-performance catalysts based on newlyemerging atom
 ically dispersed single-metal-site-rich metal-nitrogen-carbonmaterials for
  sustainable\, clean hydrogen technologies. Bio:Gang Wu is the Elvera and
  William R.Stuckenberg Endowed Professor at Washington University in St. L
 ouis. He is anECS Fellow and has substantial expertise in electrochemical 
 science andengineering. He completed all his degrees\, including Ph.D.\, a
 t the HarbinInstitute of Technology in 2004. After extensive postdoctoral 
 training atTsinghua University\, the University of South Carolina\, and Lo
 s Alamos NationalLaboratory (LANL)\, he became a staff scientist at LANL i
 n 2010. Then\, he joinedSUNY Buffalo as a tenure-track assistant professor
  in 2014 and was quicklypromoted to associate professor in 2018 and to ful
 l professor in 2020. After a decade of serviceat SUNY Buffalo\, he joined 
 Washington University in St. Louis in 2024. His currentresearch focuses on
  advanced electrocatalysis and catalysis for hydrogen andelectrochemical e
 nergy technologies\, such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells\, waterelectro
 lysis\, CO2 reduction\, electrosynthesis\, and carbon-freenitrogen electro
 chemistry. He is also interested in developing clean-energy-relatedheterog
 eneous catalysis\, including efficient ammonia synthesis and cracking\, to
 address the grand challenges of hydrogen storage and transportation. Dr. W
 u isa leading scientist in the exploration of single-metal-site catalysts 
 forsustainable electrocatalysis\, as evidenced by more than 400 papers inp
 restigious journals and approximately 70\,000 citations\, with an H-index 
 of 142(Google Scholar ). Dr. Wu has been recognizedby Clarivate Analytics 
 as a Highly Cited Researcher since 2018. He serves as anAssociate Editor f
 or a few journals\, including the Journal of theElectrochemical Society (J
 ES)\, the Electrochemical Society’s flagshipjournal\, and Applied Cataly
 sis B: Environment and Energy.
