Congratulations to Professor Meng NI, our RISE Management Committee member, Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Construction and Environment, Head and Chair Professor of Energy Science and Technology of the Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering, his project was awarded NSFC/RGC CRS Scheme.
NSFC/RGC CRS supports larger-scale interdisciplinary collaborative research between universities in the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong, in order to enhance research output and impact on both sides.
Project: Development of high performance and durable solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) for coupling with Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) reactor for green synthetic liquid fuel production
Project Details:
This project aims to develop advanced solid oxide electrolysis cells for efficient co-electrolysis of water and carbon dioxide, enabling integration with Fischer-Tropsch reactors for green synthetic liquid fuel production. The research team will engineer novel perovskite cathode materials using entropy engineering and in situ nanoparticle exsolution, supported by machine learning and theoretical modelling. Multiphysics simulations will evaluate system performance under fluctuating renewable power input, and a coupled system will be developed to demonstrate fuel production. The project will support carbon neutrality by advancing renewable energy storage, carbon dioxide utilisation, and clean fuel technologies, contributing to sustainable energy development in Hong Kong, the Nation and globally.
Congratulations to Professor Ni!
