Congratulations to two ME PhD students won the Silver Award in the "New Materials and New Energy" category under the 7th Greater Bay Area STEAM Excellence Award 2025 (HKSAR) (Postgraduate category) for their project entitled “Bubbles dynamics dominate the performance of water electrolyzer at high currents compared to the electrochemical active surface area (ECSA)”.

The PolyU team, composed of WU Lizhen and WANG Qing from the PolyU Department of Mechanical Engineering, and XU Yifan from the CityU School of Energy and Environment. Their work mainly focuses on exploring the design of electrodes for high-rate water electrolysis, improving their bubble dynamics and fully releasing their capabilities through electrode engineering.

The Greater Bay Area STEAM Excellence Award (HKSAR) has been organized by Hong Kong New Emerging Technology Education Association (HKNETEA) since 2019 with the objective to enhance students’ creativity and innovation, and recognise young STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) talents for their efforts, while recognizing the dedication of schools and teachers for their outstanding work and commitment to STEAM education.
