Jingyue Liu received his bachelor's degree in metal physics from the University of Science and Technology Beijing, China, and his PhD in condensed matter physics from Arizona State University under the guidance of Professor John M. Cowley. He was a postdoctoral research associate and research scientist in the LeRoy-Eyring Center for Solid State Science of ASU before he joined Monsanto Corporate Research as a research specialist and group leader in 1994. After a series of promotions, he was appointed as a Science Fellow of Monsanto in 2000 and a Senior Science Fellow in 2003 for sustained outstanding technical leadership and significant impacts on Monsanto's businesses. He received the prestigious 2001 Edgar M. Queeny Award for Science and Technology, the highest award within Monsanto for scientific achievement and business impact. In 2006, he joined the University of Missouri-St. Louis as the director of the Center for Molecular Electronics and Professor of Physics and Chemistry, and in 2007 became the founding director of the Center for Nanoscience. He joined Arizona State University in 2011 as professor of physics. He became a Fellow of the Microscopy Society of America in 2012.
Our group focuses on the fundamental understanding of the synthesis-structure-performance relationships of nanostructures and nanostructured systems. We develop and utilize aberration-corrected electron microscopy techniques (imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy) to understand the synthesis processes of nanoscale materials, their unique properties and their applications in energy conversion and storage, heterogeneous catalysis, and sensing. For example, we are developing single-atom catalysts for production of energy or chemicals; synthesizing carbon and oxide nanostructures to improve the performance of supercapacitors and batteries; and exploring novel technologies for environmental remediation. One of our key research goals is to understand the formation processes of nanostructures so that we can develop scalable synthesis methodologies to manufacture better controlled nanostructures for desired applications. Another research goal is to understand the charge generation and transfer processes in nanostructures and nanoarchitectured systems.
