Prof. Wong Ching-ping: CUHK Invents Asymmetric Supercapacitors and New Flow Batteries – A Breakthrough in Storage and Transmission of Renewable Energy
14 September 2016
Prof. Wong Ching-ping (Fellow of S.H. Ho College), Dean of Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), has been leading a cross-institutional research team to conduct a five-year research project entitled ‘Smart Solar Energy Harvesting, Storage and Utilization’. The research team of CUHK has successfully invented the most efficient supercapacitors and the flow batteries with the highest volumetric capacity reported to date. The inventions can strongly enhance the efficiency of renewable energy storage and transmission and increase the penetration of renewable electricity generation. The research findings on the supercapacitors have been published in Nano Energy. The research findings on the new flow batteries have been published in Nature Communications and Advanced Energy Materials.
