　　六、内容简介

　　Advanced materials, additive fabrication and in-situ characterization enable tremendous applications in energy, sustainability and manufacturing towards sustainable development goals. In this talk, I will share our recent research efforts on functional materials and micro/nano-fabrication, including metal-ceramic nanocomposite coating, hydrogel-oxide nanoparticle composite, hydrogel and ceramic micro-3D printing, direct 3D printing on membranes, for enhancing light-heat-fluid transport. Moreover, I will report our new findings on evaporation-induced cavitation and ice-induced pore confinement in opaque porous materials through in-situ magnetic resonance characterization. By applying high-speed optical imaging, we have probed physical insights into dynamics of H2-O2 bubbles on nano-engineered electrodes during electrocatalytic water splitting. These novel technologies and knowledge discoveries offer new pathways and solutions for solar energy-water nexus, green hydrogen production and in-situ resource utilization even beyond the earth.
