附：报告内容摘要及Kostya (Ken) Ostrikov 教授个人简介
In this talk, I will focus on recent new research directions in the Plasma Nanoscience field, specifically:
1) Plasma-nano-catalysis [1];
2) Sustainable, green-chemistry based nanotechnology; and
3) Nano-plasmas generated by intense radiation [2].
In each area, as common to research in the Plasma Nanoscience field, plasma-specific effects and phenomena will be the main points for discussion. For example, in area 1) I will provide some examples of synergistic actions of low-temperature plasmas and nanometer-sized (mostly) inorganic catalysts that lead to value-added products. In area 2), I will introduce the sustainable life-cycles of natural-resource-derived plasma-made nanomaterials, focusing in particular on those effects that help reforming nature-derived precursors into functional nanomaterials. Some of the examples of such nanomaterials include graphenes for energy storage or environmental sensing devices. In area 3), I will pose a fundamental question if it is feasible to reduce the size of plasmas, the fourth state of matter, to the nanoscale and will discuss the physical limitations on the way to achieve nano-plasmas as well as the effective means to overcome such limitations. The mechanisms for the production of transient, highly-non-equilibrium nanoplasmas are introduced. Some of the interesting effects that arise due to the nanoscale plasma-surface interactions and the interesting properties of the nanostructures [3,4] in relevant cases are discussed. These interactions can be enabled by low-pressure and atmospheric-pressure plasma discharges. Selected recent environmental and energy applications of functional nano-materials produced using plasmas are summarized in Ref. [4].
