报告摘要

Alan S. Goldman’s current research targets sustainable ammonia synthesis via electrochemical nitrogen reduction (ENR). Recognizing that today’s Haber–Bosch process consumes ~2 % of global fossil fuel, his team is developing bimetallic molecular catalysts that cleanly split N₂ into metal nitrides, bypassing the high-energy NNH₂/HN=NH intermediates encountered in classical distal/alternating pathways. By coupling this N≡N cleavage strategy to proton–electron delivery from water, the project aims to convert renewable electricity directly to NH₃ under mild conditions, offering a low-carbon route to fertilizer and energy carriers.

报告人简介

Professor Alan S. Goldman, Distinguished Professor at Rutgers University, received both his B.A. and Ph.D. from Columbia University, where his doctoral work with David R. Tyler explored the mechanisms of photoinduced organometallic reactions. He then pursued an IBM Post-doctoral Fellowship in the laboratory of Jack Halpern at the University of Chicago. Since launching his independent career as an assistant professor at Rutgers, he has earned numerous early-career honors — including the Union Carbide Innovation Recognition Award, Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, Camille and Henry Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Fellowship, Rutgers Board of Trustees Fellowship for Scholarly Excellence, and the New Jersey ACS Pro Bono Award. His later recognitions include the inaugural ACS Catalysis Lectureship for the Advancement of Catalytic Science (2012), the 2019 ACS Award in Organometallic Chemistry, the 2020 Royal Society of Chemistry Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Award, and election as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2021.
