Nanostructures for energy devices and flexible electronics: (1) Nanostructured paper with 1D wood cellulose for solar cells, batteries and flexible electronics. I will discuss: the novel transparent paper with tailored properties, and applications in flexible electronics, origami devices and solar cells; the fundamental advantages of using mesoporous ,soft wood fibers for low-cost Na-ion batteries. (2) 2D materials in energy devices. I will discuss the manipulations of electrons, ions, and photons in scalable paper-like thin films with 2D materials. Examples include our work on intercalation optoelectronics on graphene, high-performance supercapactiors and Na-ion batteries, and thermal management with BN nanosheets.
