Physics, Chemistry and Technology of Supercritical Water

超临界水具有独特的热物理和化学性质。它有望在发电、危险废物销毁、碳封存和大规模制氢方面取得突破性进展。随着利用其独特性能的新技术的发展，广泛的研究工作集中在超临界水-氢和水-氧化学上，以及在这些恶劣环境条件下抗降解的先进材料上。我的主要研究目标是对高温和超临界水系统及其对材料的影响有一个基本的、分子水平的理解，并为他们的研究开发创新的实验和建模工具。我的项目将指导下一代能源技术的发展，包括大规模发电和利用超临界水生产氢（第四代核反应堆，“绿色”氢）。另一个实用价值在于推进对环境无不良影响的危险废物超临界水氧化处理技术

Supercritical water possesses unique thermophysical and chemical properties. It holds much promise for ground-breaking advances in electrical power generation, hazardous waste destruction, carbon sequestration and large-scale hydrogen production. As new technologies are developed to harness its unique properties, extensive research efforts are focused on supercritical water - hydrogen and water - oxygen chemistry, along with advanced materials that are resistant to degradation under these harsh environmental conditions. My major research goal is to achieve a fundamental, molecular level understanding of high-temperature and supercritical aqueous systems, their effect on materials, and to develop innovative experimental and modeling tools for their study. My program will guide the development of the next generation energy technologies that involve large-scale power and hydrogen production using supercritical water (Generation-IV nuclear reactor, "green" hydrogen). Another practical value lies in advancing the supercritical water oxidation technology for hazardous waste treatment that has no detrimental effect on the environment
