A new project is awarded titled with “Integrated Heterogeneous Structure of High-Entropy-Alloy/Reactor for High-Throughput Chemical Synthesis via In-Situ Carbon-Dioxide Hydrogenation” from Department of Energy.
Conversion of nuclear-generated energy, in the form of heat or electrons, to chemical energy carriers is an important pathway to enable the use of carbon dioxide or other compounds including nitrogen, steam, and light alkanes (e.g., methane, ethane, propane, etc.) as a feedstock.
We will work with Idaho National Laboratory (Dr. Wenjuan Bian) to synthesize, characterize, and test high-entropy alloy electro catalysts for converting CO2 to chemicals such as methanol.

Attended panel discussion on Hydrogen-powered future and challenges to get there, organized by OU CHEPS (https://www.oucheps.org). Many experts and professors from industry, universities, and NSF extensively discussed how hydrogen economy will be accomplished.
A DoE grant is awarded to work on co-generation of liquid chemicals and electricity from natural gas
This project will develop a modular reactor for co-generation of liquid chemicals and electricity from stranded natural gas with team from Kansas State University (Dr. Chuancheng Duan) and OU. The team envisions to design, demonstrate, and test a novel process intensified modular system with techno-economic feasibility which integrates electrocatalyst with electrochemical membrane reactors for natural gas (NG) upgrading to value-added liquid chemicals (aromatics) and power generation simultaneously.
Shuanglin Zheng joined our group as PhD research assistant in 2023 Spring to start his new journey in OU.
