Recently, the project "Basic and Applied Research on Future Functional Materials under Extreme Conditions" undertaken by Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology received a research grant of 45 million RMB from 2021 Special Fund for the Cultivation of Science and Technology Innovation for Major Program for the Fundamental Research of Guangdong Province.
The project is led by Prof. Gong Xingao and completed together with the following core members:
Prof. Daniel Tan, Prof. Xie Zuoti, Prof. Marcelo Fabián Ciappina, Prof. Khadga Jung Karki, Prof. Aleksandra Baron-Wiechec, Prof. Lin Quanfu, Prof. Jiang Youhua, Prof. Qi Yuanshen from GTIIT and Prof. Xiang Hongjun from Fudan University.
With the rapid development of faster, smaller, more durable, and higher power devices, efficient and reliable devices are faced with the great challenge of operating in extreme environments. This puts new requirements on their core functional materials, such as high operating temperatures, strong electric fields, strong optical fields, short time (attosecond), large strain and high current density.
Guangdong Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, in conjunction with Fudan University, plans to study the structure and properties of functional materials under extreme conditions, design molecular structures, improve performance and mechanism cognition, measure and simulate transient electron dynamics, design response mechanisms of micro and nano structures and defect engineering, and design new materials of the future. Also it is planned to provide support for the technology and talent needs of industries such as Materials and Electronics in Guangdong Province.
This project is expected to:
1. Reveal the mechanism of charge transport in dielectric films and provide a way to improve the high-temperature stability of organic polymer films;
2. Prepare molecular spin transport devices and reveal their working mechanism to improve the device model of molecular electronics;
3. Establish a method for measuring and simulating the properties of attosecond electron dynamics in materials under high optical fields;
4. Significantly improve the charge/discharge cycle life and energy density of energy storage lithium electrodes;
5. Design and fabricate intelligent interfacial micro-nano structures with high stability and resistance to extreme reactivity;
6. Reveal the effects of material processing on crystal defect configuration and properties under extreme strain and high current electrical pulses.
