Hello everyone, Let us take a moment to discuss energy. Recently, energy topics relating to climate change, carbon capture, and hydrogen production have attracted sizable attention. One standout class of porous materials, known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), shows exceptional promise in addressing major energy challenges. Another innovative approach to energy generation is converting waste heat into electricity. Given that waste heat is a common byproduct in numerous processes, utilizing it as a renewable energy source offers a practical solution to our energy challenges. I am excited to share our latest research on thermoelectric generation using a MOF-based material. The most effective thermoelectric materials should possess high electrical conductivity, low thermal conductivity, and high thermopower. These properties are interdependent; altering one can impact the others. Our study demonstrates how we have managed to increase the electrical conductivity of a highly insulative MOF, minimize its thermal conductivity, and maintain its porosity. The outcome is a thermoelectric material capable of generating millivolt-level electricity. I am grateful to my co-authors: Dr Brendan Dyett, Dr Billy Murdoch, Dr Al Jumlat Ahmed, Prof. Gary Rosengarten, Prof. Rachel Caruso for their immense contributions to the project. To Dr Cara Doherty and Prof. Xavier Mulet, thank you for giving me the opportunity to work on this project. For more details, please see https://lnkd.in/gnqHqn9M

Optimizing Ni-based catalysts as a cheap option to produce hydrogen is crucial. Check out our recent research paper in Energy Conversion and Management: X! Our study, titled "Enhanced Hydrogen Production through Methane Dry Reforming: Evaluating the Effects of Promoter-Induced Variations in Reducibility, Basicity, and Crystallinity on Ni/ZSM-5 Catalyst Performance,". Key Highlights: Utilized Ni-supported ZSM-5 catalysts to optimize methane dry reforming. Investigated the impact of promoters (Ce, Cs, Cu, Fe, Sr) on catalyst performance. Achieved notable hydrogen yields, with Ce-promoted catalysts showing up to 70% yield at 800°C. This research underscores the critical role of catalyst modifications in improving efficiency and sustainability in energy conversion technologies.

We are pleased to announce that our article titled "Pilot plant results of amine-based carbon capture with heat integrated stripper" has been published in the prestigious journal Applied Energy! 🎉 🔍 Abstract: The process of amine capture of CO2 from industrial gases, although quite well-known, still has room for improvement. In our study, we focused on reducing heat consumption by using a Heat Integrated Stripper (HIS). Our pilot tests, conducted at TAURON Wytwarzanie S.A. Power Plants, showed that thermal integration has a positive effect on the temperature profile of the stripper, which leads to an increase in CO2 capture without additional heat input. This study provides a foundation for the design of larger CO2 capture plants with HIS, offering potential solutions to reduce the industry's environmental impact. 🌍💡 A heartfelt thank you to my co-authors: Professor Marek Tańczyk, Dr. Eng. Lucyna Więcław-Solny, and Dr. Eng. Janusz Zdeb. Your expertise and dedication were crucial to the success of this project! 🙏 #CarbonCapture #CleanEnergy #Research #AppliedEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability #Science

Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering
Excited to share a new publication led by Doo Hyun Chung and Edward Graham, in collaboration with Landon Schofield, Prof. Benjamin Paren and Prof. Yang Shao-Horn, on the design space for cost effective hydrogen production via PEM electrolyzers. The paper uses a physics-based PEM electrolyzer model coupled with design and scheduling economic optimization model to explore the drivers of low-cost electrolytic H2. Highlights include: - Dynamic operation reduces LCOH vs. static operation, with increasing maximum current density increasing cost savings, particularly in future renewables dominant grid scenarios - Differential pressure operation upto 30 bar H2 becomes more cost-effective under future grid and capex scenarios - Achieving $1/kg remains a challenging target for available capex projections and would require further reductions in capex and electricity supply - Grid-electricity based hydrogen on its own will not be eligible for 45V without additional measures either at the grid level or producer-level https://lnkd.in/ec29vHSP
