Membrane and Alcohol Fuel Cell INTERACT with China

英国领先的膜和酒精燃料电池研究人员对中国领先机构的这次互动访问的目的是建立有效的新合作，以促进世界级清洁和高效能源发电技术的发展。这种技术包括：(A)直接酒精燃料电池，具有高能量密度燃料，可为便携式设备长期供电；(B)碳中性高能量密度液体燃料直接生物乙醇燃料电池，可作为未来无碳氢经济的桥梁；(C)直接乙二醇燃料电池，用于在零下温度下进行发电；(D)生物燃料电池，包括用于从废水和其他天然原料中发电的微生物燃料电池，以及高性能和耐用的生物催化剂，包括用于混合反应物燃料电池的高选择性酶电极，其固有的简单平衡植物特性。此行还将全面宣传英国科学的质量和能力，以造福于英国科学基地。有关中国科学能力现状的调查结果和已建立的合作的新闻将通过研讨会、网站、专业出版物和在线论坛向更广泛的英国科学受众传播。

The aim of this INTERACT visit to leading Chinese Institutions by the UK's leading membrane and alcohol fuel cell researchers is to establish effective new collaborations to facilitate the development of world class clean and efficient energy generation technologies. Such technologies include: (a) direct alcohol fuel cells with high energy density fuels for long lasting powering of portable devices; (b) carbon-neutral high energy density liquid fuelled direct bioethanol fuel cells to act as a bridge a future carbon-free hydrogen economy; (c) direct ethylene glycol fuel cells for power production in sub-zero temperatures; and (d) biofuel cells including microbial fuel cells for power generation from wastewater and other natural feed-stocks and high performance and durable biocatalysts including highly selective enzymatic electrodes for mixed-reactant fuel cells with inherently simple balance of plant characteristics. The trip will also involve the exhaustive promotion of the quality and capabilities of UK science to the benefit of the UK science base. Findings relating to the state-of-play of Chinese scientific capabilities and news on established collaborations will be disseminated to the wider UK scientific audience via a seminar, websites, specialist publications and online forums.
