Prof. Zenyuk travels to London, England to visit Prof. Anthony Kucernak group at Imperial College and also Johnson Matthew company in Reading. The visit was fruitful with a lot of potential collaborative discussions.

Prof. Zenyuk along with team members Cliff, Jack, Nausir, Hung-Ming traveled to H2NEW Hydrogen consortium meeting in Napa, CA. Jack presented a posted on oxygen distribution in the porous transport layer in water electrolyzers. The students also got a chance to meet their academic grandfather Prof. Shawn Litster.

Prof. Zenyuk and Prof. Mo Li from UCI organized Telluride Innovation Workshop on Cement Decarbonization. Various groups attended those from cement and electrochemistry fields and we discussed methods to decarbonize cement and to also have alternative electrochemical pathways for Ca(OH)2 production.

Prof. Zenyuk and Masao traveled to Million Mile Fuel Cell Truck, Department of Energy consortium meeting. Masao presented his poster on modeling electric double layers (EDLs) at metal – Nafion interface. We were joined by Dr. Adam Weber, who is also Masao’s co-advisor. From UCI Prof. Stamenkovic and Prof. Atanassov took part in the meeting […]

During Fuel Cell Seminar in Long Beach, Zenyuk group and NFCRC hosted various visitors. A highlight was to reconnect with our alumni Dr. Devashish Kulkarni, who is now an R&D engineer at NEL Hydrogen. We also hosted a collaborator from DeNora.

Ziliang was a visiting student with our group for the last year. He accomplished a lot in one year, ran multiple fuel cell programs and developed new method for making MPLs, developed methods for various electrochemical characterization techniques and implemented them. We will miss you!

Prof. Zenyuk is quoted in the following nicely written article: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/978237 “We stand in front of enormous global problems we have to address. Future research can´t just be curiosity based, it needs to be based on urgent global questions we need to solve. I feel, I don´t have the luxury anymore to be in my […]

We enjoyed two days of seminars from Prof. Devinder Mahajan and Dr. Rangachary Mukund. Devinder provided overview of hydrogen economy, specifically focusing on gas sector and on activities on the North East. Mukund provided perspective from national laboratories, showcasing research under H2NEW and M2FCT consortia. The students enjoyed all the interactions with the renowned hydrogen […]

Prof. Zenyuk travels to a workshop titled “Chemical Dynamics at Extended Scales” organized in Fritz-Haber Institute, Max Planck Society in Berlin, Germany to deliver a keynote on a topic of x-ray computed tomography and pyrolysis (Ying’s work). The venue Harnack-Haus in Berlin is quite famous with 35 Nobel prize winners giving lectures there overtime.

Prof. Zenyuk gave interview to a journalist from Automotive World: https://www.automotiveworld.com/articles/whats-delaying-freight-electrification/ “FCEV-powered freight could be a steppingstone to an efficient, cheaper, all-electric fleet.” By Elle Farrell-Kingsley ““Heavy-duty trucking, aviation, and shipping trains are all currently propelled by internal combustion engines (ICE),” says Iryna Zenyuk, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Professor at the University of California. “Battery-driven […]
