Hku portable energy storage

Can HKU engineering accelerate the development of energy-saving electric vehicles?

Overseeing the energy part of the environmental research cluster for HKU Engineering, Professor K.T. Chau from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering says HKU Engineering is well-positioned to accelerate the development of energy-saving, especially electric vehicle (EV), technologies.

Why do we need a battery & energy storage system?

Batteries and energy storage systems are an indispensable part of our daily life. Cell phone, laptops, and other portable devices all runs on batteries. In the future, electric vehicles and large renewable storage systems also require an efficient energy storage medium.

Are anionic network polymer membranes a safe energy storage device?

Ultimately, these anionic network polymer membranes enable lithium metal batteries to function as safe, long-cycling energy storage devices at high temperatures, maintaining 92.7% capacity retention and averaging 99.867% coulombic efficiency over 450 cycles at 100°C.

Why should you study civil engineering at HKU?

HKU’s civil engineering programme imparts knowledge in both structural engineering and geotechnical engineering. Professor Yang and colleagues also carried out research on safe and cost-effective design for iconic infrastructure such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.

Do electric vehicles need energy storage?

In the future, electric vehicles and large renewable storage systems also require an efficient energy storage medium. Capacity and energy density are of course important aspects of battery materials, but equally important are the stability of the materials and their interactions with electrolyte.
