Energy & Environment Recent warnings regarding depletion of finite natural energy resources and intensifying environmental problems have become a globally common interest, leading to large investments in innovative technological solutions for the energy economy and sustainability of global environments. A set of challenging issues involves new and/or renewable energy resources (e.g. solar, wind, fuel, etc.), electrochemical energy conversion and storage (e.g. lithium-ion batteries, supercapacitors), carbon capture, and storage for global warming, water, and air pollution, etc. Our department research the continuous, eco-friendly methods for recovering resources to satisfy the forthcoming environmental crisis.
