    PAIR distinguished lecture series : functional nanomaterials for green hydrogen production and storage

    Lu began his presentation with a brief outline of the role of functional nanomaterials in addressing global challenges and advancing green hydrogen technologies. He highlighted the critical importance of electrodes, membranes, catalysts and photocatalysts in enhancing the efficiency and scalability of electrolysis and photocatalysis systems, as well as the significance of solid-state storage materials in overcoming challenges related to hydrogen storage and distribution, noting that some low-pressure solutions are already in use.
    Still, Prof. Lu emphasised that further technological innovations are needed to reduce costs and enhance performance. He explained that green hydrogen is a valuable energy carrier; it can not only contribute to decarbonisation in the power sector, but also act as zero-emission fuel for sea, land and air freight, which is crucial for the achievement of a net-zero future by 2050. In conclusion, Prof. Lu called on the academic community to accelerate the commercialisation of new materials for the construction of cost-effective hydrogen infrastructure, and urged researchers to bridge the gap between technology R&D and practical applications.
