Professor Yun Liu專題講座簡介

Professor Yun Liu

ARC Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellow Head, Functional Materials Research group Research School of Chemistry, Collage of Science The Australian National University

Professor Yun Liu currently holds the prestigious position of Australian Research Council (ARC) Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellow, leading the Functional Materials Research group at the Research School of Chemistry, The Australian National University (ANU).

Yun Liu received her PhD degree from Xian Jiaotong University in 1997 and then worked at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Kyushu, Japan (1998-2001). Following this, she commenced her Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at the ANU, in 2001, and promoted to Professor in 2015. Her academic journey has been awarded by several prestigious National Fellowships, including the AIST (1998-1999) and STA Fellow (1999-2001) in Japan, and the ARC Queen Elizabeth II Fellow (2006- 2010), Future Fellow (2011-2015), and Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellow (2021-) in Australia.

Professor Liu's research has been focusing on defect chemistry, local structure, and the functional properties of condensed matters. She is internationally recognized for her groundbreaking application of complex materials chemistry to design novel functional materials for use in electronic technology, green energy and environmental sustainability. She holds 41 patents and has over 280 publications in esteemed journals such as Nature, Science, and Nature Materials. One of her research projects focuses on catalyst design for liquid organic hydrogen storage (LOHS), by which she is working together with Australia’s industry partners to build the Australia-first, industry-scale LOHS demonstration facility.

Hydrogen storage is playing a critical role in energy transformation from fossil fuels to green energy. To increase the cost competitiveness of hydrogen as an energy carrier, and unlock its potential as a form of energy storage to smooth intermittent renewable energy production and as a means of decarbonizing ‘difficult to decarbonize’ sectors, storage and transport of hydrogen must be made safer, more efficient and cheaper. Safe, green, low-cost and large-scale hydrogen storage is essential for future energy security and economic development.

In this presentation, I will begin by introducing Australia’s hydrogen energy strategy and development, and then I will give a general review on hydrogen storage technology and materials, with a special focus on Liquid Organic Hydrogen Storage (LOHS). LOHS enables large quantities of hydrogen to be safely and stably stored under ambient conditions. The performance of LOHS depends on properties and interaction between two core materials: carriers and catalysts. I will discuss the dynamics of hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions, and the challenging in the selection/design of organic carriers and catalysts for optimal LOHS performance and applications. I will also briefly introduce the practical applications of the LOHS technology, including its current commercialisation situation and my perspectives on the deployment of the LOHS technology in Australia and internationally.
