22 The PolyU-developed ammonia-powered golf cart and the process of converting ammonia to electrical power by Dr Li. Dr LI Molly and Prof. LAU Shu Ping are working with Department of Electrical Engineering, Ev Dynamics, Automotive Platforms and Application Systems R&D Centre, University of Oxford, and HKOXGI Limited to develop ammonia-based electric cars through the projects “Ammonia-powered Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicles in Hong Kong” (HK$7.8M) and “Ammonia as An Efficient Carbon-Free Hydrogen Carrier: Materials and Cracker Design For Fuel Cell Applications" (HK$1.2M). Additionally, they have joined a world-leading catalysis research consortium in partnership with Johnson Matthey to accelerate global carbon neutrality goals, where they are leading a project “A novel heterogeneous hydroformylation technology to deliver green chemicals” in the consortium. A press release has been issued to report this collaboration. Intravascular ultrasound transducer and imaging of swine coronary artery by Prof. Dai. Prof. TSANG Yuen-hong has two collaboration projects with Shenzhen University and private sector. The aim of these projects is to develop new materials for saturable absorbers and enable the shortening of laser pulses to an unprecedented level. The first project “Research on Single-walled Carbon Nanotube Absorbers Fabrication for High Power Mode-locked Lasers” focuses on the development of high-power pulsed lasers with Fianium Asia Ltd. The second project, titled “The Development of Ultrafast Femtosecond Laser System for Thin Battery Materials Processing”, involves thin-film laser processing techniques for fuel cells with Fianium Asia Ltd. and United Winners Laser Co., Ltd. New materials for saturable absorbers are developed through these collaboration projects, laser pulses are therefore shortened to an unprecedented level. Two awards have been received so far: • 2021 Shenzhen City Science and Technology Award Four Categories (Second Prize), 2021年度深圳市科學技術獎四類獎項 ( 二等獎) • China Science and Technology Industrialization Promotion Association, Science and Technology Innovation Award, Second Prize, 2021 – 2022 中國科技產業化促進會( 科技創新獎二等獎) Prof. Tsang’s laser system and test performance. Prof. DAI Jiyan has continuously worked with his long-term industry partner Shantou Institute of Ultrasonic Instrument. Currently, they have two joint projects “Fabrication of High Frequency Phasearray Transducer” and “Fabrication of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Imaging System for Medical Diagnostics”. Prof. Dai is currently in the process of filing patents for these projects and intends to license and transfer the developed techniques to the industry partner for subsequent production.
