We are excited to announce that Dr Ali Aliyu, a colleague within our School of Engineering, has received a capital grant from the Royal Society.
The project, which will benefit from this grant is the 'Green hydrogen production by controlling microbubble generation in electrolytic cells'.
This proposal is motivated by the need to improve the current contribution of green hydrogen within the entire hydrogen mix which currently stands at 5%. The low efficiency of current alkaline electrolysis (AEL) cells is a barrier to producing clean, cheap hydrogen. The ultimate aim is to produce a new generation of AEL hydrogen production cell that is more efficient than current ones using electrodes with functional micro-engineered surfaces.
