报告人简介： Prof. Kou received his PhD from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and has held research and academic positions at Bremen University (Germany), the University of New South Wales, and Queensland University of Technology (Australia). His research focuses on first-principles simulations of low-dimensional nanomaterials, with particular interest in multi-physical coupling phenomena—mechanical, electrical, and magnetic—and their applications in energy conversion and storage, nanoelectronic devices, and catalysis.He has received numerous prestigious awards and recognitions, including a Humboldt Research Fellowship (2012–2014), an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) (2018–2021), inclusion among the world's top 2% of scientists (2021–2024), and the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award (2025). To date, Professor Kou has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles in leading journals such as Nature Communications, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nano Letters, ACS Nano, Advanced Science, and Advanced Functional Materials. His work has garnered around 15,000 citations, with an h-index of 65. 

报告摘要： Ferroelectricity, characterized by the reversible polarization under an external electric field, has long been a cornerstone of non-volatile electronic devices and digital information storage. In this talk, I will demonstrate how this physical phenomenon can also be harnessed to modulate chemical reactions and enhance energy conversion processes. Our recent research highlights the role of switchable ferroelectric polarization in controlling reaction pathways and efficiencies in key catalytic systems, including photocatalytic water splitting, electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction, and nitrogen reduction. By systematically tuning the polarization direction, we reveal how surface charge redistribution and interfacial electronic structures can be manipulated to drive or suppress specific reaction steps.
