Lifeng Liu (Researcher ID: A-2522-2012, Orcid ID: 0000-0003-2732-7399) received his Bachelor degree in Applied Physics from Beijing Jiaotong University in 2001, and both his MS (2004) and PhD (2007) degrees in Condensed Matter Physics from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOP-CAS) under the supervision of Prof. Sishen Xie (Academician of CAS and TWAS). He joined Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics - Halle (MPI-Halle), Germany in 2007, first working as a postdoctoral researcher under the supervision of the late Prof. Ulrich Goesele, and then as a staff scientist. He started his independent research career in 2008 and became a group leader in 2009. In 2011, he moved to the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) and set up a research group there. Lifeng has been actively working on nanomaterials and nanostructures since 2002, with particular emphases on fabrication and characterization of complex nanostructures, nano-magnetism, nanoscale solid-state reactions, ferroelectric nanostructures and nano-electrocatalysts. His present interest mainly focuses on nanomaterials for renewable energy generation, storage, and conversion. So far, he has authored/co-authored more than 150 peer-reviewed papers in major international journals, which have been collectively cited 9700+ times, leading him to an h-index of 57 (Google Scholar, as of January 2021). In addition, Lifeng has delivered 60+ oral presentations at different international conferences/workshops/universities including 2 plenary talks, 12 keynote speeches, and 26 invited talks. Besides, Lifeng has offered extensive professional services to the community. He actively serves as a reviewer for 60+ scientific journals such as Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., J. Am. Chem. Soc., Energy Environ. Sci., Adv. Mater., Nature Commun., ACS Nano, Adv. Funct. Mater., etc., and for grant applications for several funding agencies from Europe, North America and Asia. He served as a chair/co-chair of several international conferences and workshops (e.g. EMRS Fall Meeting 2019 & 2021, AEM2018, HERALD summit, Solar Fuel Production Workshop) and was a member of the organizing/scientific committee of a number of national/international conferences. Since 2011, Lifeng has successfully secured internal and external research funds totaling more than 2.1 million Euros. Lifeng Liu was the recipient of the FCT Investigator Grant 2014, Young Researcher Prize of the Portuguese Electrochemical Society 2015, the IAAM Scientist Medal 2018 by the International Association of Advanced Materials, and Emerging Investigator 2019 by the Royal Society of Chemistry journal "Chemical Communications".

  1. Highly-ordered silicon nanowire arrays for photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution: an investigation on the effect of wire diameter, length and inter-wire spacing. Vertically-aligned, highly-ordered silicon nanowire (SiNW) array photocathodes are fabricated employing e-beam lithography followed by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) of Si. The effect of structural parameters of SiNWs, including wire diameter, length and inter-wire spacing, on their photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance has been systematically investigated.

  2. Conformal and continuous deposition of bifunctional cobalt phosphide layers on p-silicon nanowire arrays for improved solar hydrogen evolution. Vertically aligned p-silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays have been extensively investigated in recent years as promising photocathodes for solar-driven hydrogen evolution. However, the fabrication of SiNW photocathodes with both high photoelectrocatalytic activity and long-term operational stability using a simple and affordable approach is a challenging task. Herein, we report conformal and continuous. 2018.

  3. Vapor–solid synthesis of monolithic single-crystalline CoP nanowire electrodes for efficient and robust water electrolysis. Electrochemical water splitting into hydrogen and oxygen is a promising technology for sustainable energy storage. The development of earth-abundant transition metal phosphides (TMPs) to catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and TMP-derived oxy-hydroxides to catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) has recently drawn considerable attention. However, most monolithically integrated meta. 2017. Li, Wei; Gao, Xuefei; Xiong, Dehua; Xia, Fang; Liu, Jian; Song, Wei-Guo; Xu, Junyuan; et al. http://hdl.handle.net/1822/48545.

  4. Atomic-layer-deposited ultrafine MoS2 nanocrystals on cobalt foam for efficient and stable electrochemical oxygen evolution. Ultrafine molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) nanocrystals are grown on a porous cobalt (Co) foam current collector by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using molybdenum hexacarbonyl and hydrogen sulfide as precursors. When used to catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the optimal Co@MoS2 electrode, even with a MoS2 loading as small as 0.06 mg cm-2, exhibits a large cathodic shift of ca. 200 mV in the o. 2017.
