Advanced flow battery for synergetic carbon capture and energy storage

Develop a novel flow battery that combines renewable energy storage, CO2 capture, and bromide wastewater treatment into one integrated system. Outcomes include an innovative energy storage solution and advancements in carbon capture and wastewater treatment, contributing to clean energy systems.

Molecular phenomena of electrode–electrolyte interfaces for high-current-density green hydrogen electrocatalysis

This project will use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the fundamental mechanisms governing electrode–electrolyte interfaces, ion/mass transport, and gas nucleation and bubble dynamics under high-current-density conditions.

These simulation-derived insights will guide the rational design of electrode architectures and catalyst surfaces, working alongside experimental electrocatalyst synthesis and testing, to close the gap between fundamental mechanistic understanding and industrially viable hydrogen production.
