Abstract:
Currently, designing chemicals and materials based on ‘trial-and-error’ in experiments is a somehow effective but very time-consuming process. Here, I will present a promising theoretical method to design chemicals called inverse molecular design (IMD) theory. I will demonstrate how we used a new IMD method based on linear combination of atomic potential in tight-binding framework (LCAP-TB) approach to design green catalysts for biomass conversion, together with its previous applications in designing nonlinear optical materials and photo-sensitizers for photocatalysis.
Electron transfer process is a ubiquitous phenomenon in chemistry and biology. I will present here the most recent electron transfer theory development in vibration-controlled electron transfer, solar cells, and photocatalysis.
