Research (Selective):•

Engineered Wood Through Nanoscale Engineering
In the past 12 years at UMD, my research group has made a few original, high-impact contributions toengineered wood technologies.

oInvented super strong and tough wood (Super Wood, stronger than steel, but six-times lighter, Nature).
The Super Wood research has been widely reported in many media including BNN Bloomberg, VOA
news, New York Post, Scientific America and many others. This technology won the R&D 100 Awardin 2019, widely recognized as the “Oscars of Invention." The research received $4M in research funding
from DOE ARPA-E to scale up the manufacturing of Super Wood for energy-efficient lightweightvehicle applications. In 2023, my startup company, InventWood LLC, received $20M ARPA_E
SCALEUP (the largest DOE ARPA_E grant) funding to scale up the manufacturing andcommercialization of Super Wood technology.
Invented transparent wood (a transmittance of > 92%, a low thermal conductivity 1/6 of glass, andbetter mechanical toughness and light guiding effects, Advanced Materials, 6, 22, 2016). Thistransparent wood has been broadly covered by mass media, including CNN, Yahoo Finance, Insider,
Science Alert, Phys. Org., etc.

Invented cooling wood (achieving interior temperatures of up to 9 ºC below ambient, Science, 364, 760,
2019). While other radiative cooling materials have been demonstrated (e.g., dielectric coating layers,
metallized polymer films, and even organic gases), it remains a challenge to both manufacture andapply these structures at the size and scale required for construction purposes. I led an engineering
strategy to tailor the optical and thermal properties of wood to achieve a high-performance radiative
cooling effect. The multiscale fibers and channels function as randomized and disordered scattering
elements for an intense broadband reflection at all visible wavelengths. Meanwhile, the molecularvibration and stretching of chemically treated cellulose in cooling wood facilitate strong emission in
the infrared. This invented cooling wood has been reported by Xinhua Net, Chemial & Engineering
News, MIT Technology Review, The India Express, Phys. Org. and others.
Invented moldable wood that can be shaped like plastic and metal (Science, 374, 465, 2021; Cover).
Wood is a sustainable structural material, but it cannot be easily shaped while maintaining its
mechanical properties. I led an invention that that uses cell wall engineering to shape flat sheets ofhardwood into versatile three-dimensional structures. This approach widens wood’s potential as astructural material, with lower environmental impact for buildings and transportation applications. This
moldable wood has been covered by media including Chemical & Engineering News, Yahoo News,
Physics World, Chemistry World, Daily Magazine News and others.
Invented thermal insulating nanowood (Science Advances, 4,3,2018). The material features a low
thermal conductivity of ~0.03 W/m·K. When compared with synthetic, nonrenewable structures (e.g.,
Styrofoam), the Insulating Nanowood possesses a similar thermal conductivity but significantly higher
mechanical strength (highlighted in the Los Angeles Times, and the 2018 HIVE 500 Building TechAward Winner). Other media have also reported this work on insulating nanowood, including Phys.
Org., Nova Next, Inverse, Europa Press, Physics World, etc.
Invented wood cellulose batteries (Nature, 598, 590, 2021; patent). Opening the molecular channels
between the cellulose chains through Cu2+ coordination, my group achieve a Li-ion conductivity ashigh as 1.5×10−3 S cm−1 at room temperature—a record among all known polymer ion conductors. Mygroup was awarded a $2.6M DOE ARPA_E grant to further develop solid-state battery technology
using these Cu-Cellulose-based ion conductors. This work has been broadly covered by media
including Physics World, Nature, Yahoo, Green Car Congress, AZO Materials, Eco Inventos, Science
Magazine and others.

•

Ultrahigh Temperature Synthesis:
Pioneered ultrahigh-temperature synthesis through multiple inventions, including ultrafast hightemperature sintering (UHS) for bulk ceramics and thermal shock for high entropy nanoparticles. He
has published extensively in this research direction since 2016, with > 90 publications in top journals,
including two Science cover articles and two Nature articles.

oDiscovered high entropy alloy nanoparticles synthesized by a rapid, ultrahigh temperature shock
method (Science, Cover). This was the first report of high entropy nanostructures with uniformly
distributed atoms in nanoparticles with a diameter of just a few nanometers. This work has been widelyreported by media, including Materials Today, Science, EurekAlert (AAAS), Science Daily, among
others.
Extended the high temperature shock synthesis to various compositions and different temperature/time
profiles to achieve intermetallic (Science Advances), high entropy oxide (Nature Catalyst), andmetallic glass structures (Nature), which are technologically important for catalyst applications but
were previously impossible to obtain until now. These catalysts show great promising in various
catalytic applications, such as ammonia oxidation (Science), ammonia decomposition (Nature
Commun.), nitrate reduction (Nano Letter), and methane (Nature Catalyst, Cover).
Invented ultrafast high-temperature sintering (UHS) as the leading inventor (Science, Cover). This
exciting breakthrough allows various ceramics to be sintered in just 10 seconds, which is ~1000-times
faster than conventional sintering processes, which often take ~10 hours. This technique can greatly

accelerate the screening and discovery of high-performance ceramic materials, and it may have a huge
impact on multiple technological fields, including solid-state batteries, 3D printing, and hightemperature structural ceramics. This work has been widely reported by media, including Yahoo,
Chemical & Engineering News, Nanowerk, Science Daily, Eurek Alert, and others.
Invented programmable heating and cooling method for the non-equilibrium synthesis of thermochemical reactions for ammonia synthesis (Nature, Cover) and plastic upcycling (Nature). The dynamic
heating process helps prevent the agglomeration of the nanoparticle catalysts. These works have beenhighlighted by Nature Synthesis, Packaging Insights, Chemistry World, Nature Podcast, Phys. Org,
Nature Physics, among others.

2023 Distinguished University Professor
2023 the Senior Faculty Outstanding Research Award in the A. James Clark School of Engineering.
R&D100 (2022), Expanded Cellulose Super Ion Conductor. Citation: In pursuit of high-energy and safe
batteries, researchers are working to replace the common liquid electrolytes with solid ion conductors.
Solid polymer electrolytes are promising candidates but often have limited ionic conductivities of < 105 S/cm. This conductivity dilemma has persisted since the solid polymer electrolyte concept was
proposed in 1978. The team at the University of Maryland overcame this challenge by inventing a
disruptive super ion conductor using expanded cellulose derived from tree wood. This super ion
conductor yields a record-high ionic conductivity of 1.5×10−3 S/cm (10–100x- improvement), which
is a significant step toward bringing solid-state battery technology to the mass market. This expanded
cellulose concept could be a paradigm shifting advance for next-generation batteries. The molecularexpanding strategy also allows for a wide range of applications, such as fuel cells.
2021 Nature Spinoff Prize by Nature
R&D100 (2021), UHS rapid sintering. Citation: The team has invented and patented an ultrafast hightemperature sintering (UHS) process that can achieve record-high temperatures of up to 3,000 ℃ andultrafast heating rates of up to 100,000 ℃/minute via radiative heating. The UHS method can directly
sinter oxide precursors into solid, dense ceramics in just seconds.
Fellow of MRS, Class of 2021. Citation: For his pioneering advances in the area of wood
nanotechnologies and ultra-high temperature manufacturing and for uncovering new materials andmethods for energy storage and conversion, printed electronics and wearables.
2022 American Chemical Society Energy & Fuels (ENFL) Research Excellence Award inElectrochemical Energy Storage
2022 Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry Nano Technical Award
2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Blavatnik National Award for Young Scientists Finalist
2021 Distinguished Scholar-Teacher Award
R&D100 (2020), High Entropy Alloy Catalysts. Citation: Finding new and better catalysts is paramount
yet largely limited by immiscibility among elements and slow experimentation. Researchers at the
University of Maryland invented a disruptive high-temperature shock technique (e.g., 2000 K within 1sec) and opened a new material space of multielement high entropy alloy catalysts, which exhibit
significantly higher performance and stability than few-element catalysts. The rapid synthesis further
enables data-driven, accelerated exploration, and continuous optimization in the unlimited
multielement space for various catalytic reactions. This technology was initially reported in Scienceand further developed as a product in 2019. It has raised significant interests from industry andgovernment agencies (e.g., funding from Maryland Innovation Initiative and Dept. of Energy ARPAE). High entropy alloy catalysts will become next-generation, game-change catalysts for a wide rangeof fields, including battery and fuel cells, chemical and drug production.
