In August 2025, End Use Theme Lead Professor Qiong Cai and Hub Researcher Dr Xiaoling Ma visited Dr Binjian Nie’s Energy Storage & Energy Carrier Group at the University of Oxford.
The tour introduced the key equipment and current research topics that the group have been using to work on thermal, chemical, and thermochemical energy storage methodologies to improve energy conversion and management.
Professor Cai also outlined the University of Surrey’s End Use collaboration plan, part of their five-year core research project, which started on 1 June 2023 at the University of Surrey, to develop, design, and test durable and low-cost catalysts for converting the emission gases NH3 and NOx to nitrogen under various conditions.
Following the visit, Xiaoling commented:
“We are grateful for the support from Dr. Binjian Nie, Hangzuo Guo, and Zirui Wang, and we hope this collaboration will help advance the HyRES project’s work on the end-of-use theme.”
We can’t wait to see what the teams discover and achieve!
