This Hub aims to develop sustainable zero-emission power generation technologies to transform gaseous waste (mainly CO2) from our energy and manufacturing sectors into valuable products and create scalable pathways to market for driving industry transformation.
This Hub expects to harvest renewable energy from the environment by using zero-emission power generators and then store it in green and safer batteries for converting gaseous waste from sectors that cannot easily avoid emission into useful chemicals, which in turn realize carbon neutrality and negativity.
The outcomes of this Hub are likely to be transformative for industry, the economy, and society in new type renewable energy resources through decreasing environmental pollutants.
Why ZeroPC ?
To harvest sustainable electricity from the environment, we aim to develop scalable, green manufacturing technologies for thermoelectric generators and solar cells. Our research explores hybrid thermoelectric-photovoltaic systems to recover solar cell heat losses, boosting overall energy conversion efficiency, and advances novel materials for high-performance thermoelectric devices that can be applied in industrial waste heat recovery and spacecraft power supply[4].
View DetailsIn this theme, we propose to develop high-performing and high-reliable proton and lithium-ion batteries with industry partners. Our research focuses on addressing structural stability issues of lithium transition metal oxides (NCM) used in lithium-ion batteries, exploring proton exchange mechanisms and relithiation solutions to mitigate capacity loss and improve thermal stability, ensuring long-term reliability for industrial and automotive applications.
View DetailsTransforming CO2 into high-value chemical supplies is an effective approach to reduce carbon emissions. The conversion and utilization of CO2 in all aspects can produce huge economic benefits and good social benefits. Our team is developing novel copper-based catalysts to selectively convert CO2 into high-purity methanol with exceptional efficiency, exploring alternative synthesis pathways to simplify purification processes and promote sustainable resource utilization.
