  2. Capabilities • Biofuel Development • Complementary Research • bioinformatics • genomics • modeling and simulation • Research Infrastructure • Additional Capabilities • education • environmental laws and policies • advanced imaging • detector and sensor development Hampton University

  3. Catalyst development for the production of alternative fuels • Dr. Ates Akyurtlu and Jale F. Akyurtlu, Department of Chemical Engineering • Coal and Biomass Gasification to produce alternative gaseous fuels or intermediates for the production of alternative liquid fuels and/or petrochemicals • Fuel Reforming for the production of hydrogen as fuel for fuel cells • Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis for the production of liquid fuels and other chemicals from natural gas, coal gas, or biomass gas. Hampton University

  4. H2 O2 Separate Evolution of H2 and O2 Development of Efficient Human-Engineered Hydrogen • Project Investigators: Dr. JaeTae Seo & Dr. Qiguang Yang • Scientific Description • Solar energy creates a local electron-hole pair in nanoscale materials, that electrochemically splits a neighboring water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. • Scientific Issues • Analysis of ultrafast processes of carrier transition in nanomaterials and charge transfer at molecule-nanomaterial interfaces are critical for generating efficient and economic human-engineered hydrogen • Technical Approach • Development of solar-active nanoscale materials for water electrolysis • Ultrafast spectroscopy for optimizing nanoscale materials for efficient hydrogen generation • Functionalize the nanoscale materials • Develop a hydrogen generator • Merits of the Hydrogen Project at HU • No pollution with hydrogen energy • Reduce dependency of oil-energy • Smaller, lighter, and less cost without additional payload • Impacts • Huge commercial and economic effects • Clean environment
