Dr. Daniel Niblett has secured a £1.16 million EPSRC Open Fellowship to advance green hydrogen technology over the next five years. His project, titled 'ION-H2: Intensification and Optimisation of Next-Generation Water Electrolysers for Green Hydrogen Production', aims to design high-performance electrolysers that enhance efficiency and reduce dependence on precious metals.

The research will focus on overcoming challenges such as gas bubble formation during hydrogen production. The project utilizes advanced computer modeling, AI, and laboratory experiments to establish a 'virtual laboratory' for optimizing new electrolyser designs, which will then be manufactured and tested using 3D printing. Collaborators include teams from Australia, USA, China, Netherlands, and Norway.
