Membrane and Alcohol Fuel Cell INTERACT with China

英国领先的膜和醇燃料电池研究人员此次访问中国领先机构的目的是建立有效的新合作，以促进世界级清洁高效能源发电技术的发展。这些技术包括：（a）具有高能量密度燃料的直接醇类燃料电池，用于为便携式设备提供持久动力;（B）碳中性高能量密度液体燃料直接生物乙醇燃料电池，用作未来无碳氢经济的桥梁;（c）直接乙二醇燃料电池，用于在零度以下温度下发电;和（d）生物燃料电池，包括用于从废水和其它天然原料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-反应物燃料电池具有固有的简单的设备平衡特性。此行还将涉及英国科学的质量和能力的全面推广，以使英国科学基地受益。有关中国科学能力的调查结果和已建立合作的新闻将通过研讨会，网站，专业出版物和在线论坛传播给更广泛的英国科学观众。

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.
