Research Interests
Chemical Energy Conversion Technology
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel cell
PEM Fuel cell is one of the energy conversion technology that has received much attention. Our research group has started working in this area since the year 2001. Our group has six faculty members in the team. We do catalyst and membrane development, electrodes preparation, and system simulation.
Circulating Fluidized bed Technology
Thailand has large amount of agricultural waste which can be used to produce modern energy like electricity. CFBC is a combustor that can handle large range of fuels such as coal, biomass, combustible waste, and etc. Therefore, the current research in our group is to develop CFBC and CFBG prototype that is suitable for using with domestic fuels.
