报告摘要：
Computational methods based on quantum mechanics (first principles) are powerful tools to obtain atomic-level understanding of materials and processes. Here I will show two examples, where we develop and apply first-principles methods to understand (1) why 2D semiconductors generally have low electron mobility [1,2,3], and (2) the active site structure and kinetic mechanism of single metal atom embedded in graphene for electrochemical CO2 reduction and oxygen reduction [4,5,6].
