Welcome to the Nanodynamics and High-Efficiency Lab for Propulsion and Power (NanoHELP), led by UT and MABE professor Feng-Yuan Zhang. The core skills in NanoHELP group lie in thermal-fluid sciences and reactions, micro-/nano- technology, electrochemistry, advanced manufacturings, 3-D printings, and state-of-the-art  spectroscopies and diagnostics. The research ranges from fundamental understanding to system optimization with a strong interdisciplinary study of micro/nano-scale chemical reaction, electrocatalyst, heat/mass transport, fluid mechanics, novel materials, corrosion, degradation, surface/mechanical/chemical properties and MEMS/NEMS. Our recent research activities include: hydrogen production, electrolysis, fuel cell,  ammonia (NH3) production, CO2 conversion into high-products (e.g. methane (CH4), methanol (CH3OH), ethylene (C2H2), etc),  energy storage,  decarbonization and sensors.
