Wu, Shuwen

Electrochemical energy conversion and storage, such as electrocatalytic hydrogen generation, metal-air batteries, and fuel cells, are one of the most efficient and reliable systems for renewable energy storage, which address the intermittency of renewable energy systems. However, the energy...

Nonlinearity in the Navier-Stokes equations can originate from a variety of sources, such as contributions stemming from the advective term, constitutive closure models or external factors such as chemical reactions and capillarity. Needless to say, a combination of any of the above sources has...

The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxides (CO2RR) is a promising solution for mitigating CO2 emissions while simultaneously generating value-added chemicals. From the perspective of materials engineering, understanding the structure-function relationships is crucial in guiding the rational...

In many industrial processes, critical variables cannot be easily measured on-line: they are either obtained from hardware analyzers which are often expensive and difficult to maintain, or carried out off-line through laboratory analysis which cannot be used in real time control. These...

Non-aqueous extraction (NAE) process was explored as an alternative to the Clark hot water extraction process (CHWE) to recover bitumen from Alberta oil sands. The upshot of the NAE process is that it eliminates the latter’s environmental issues concerning high fresh water and energy...
