Recently, the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Science Park Management Committee announced the 2024 Proposed List of Beijing Key Laboratories. The Beijing Key Laboratory of Intelligent Design and Manufacturing of Hydrogen Energy Materials, affiliated with the College of Chemical Engineering at Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT), has been successfully approved. With a solid research foundation and outstanding innovation capabilities, the laboratory passed multiple rounds of rigorous review and on-site inspections before ultimately receiving official recognition.
Relying on BUCT as its host institution and co-established with Sinopec Research Institute of Petroleum Processing Co., Ltd., the Beijing Key Laboratory of Intelligent Design and Manufacturing of Hydrogen Energy Materials aims to address critical challenges in hydrogen energy materials, such as high costs and low reliability. The laboratory will focus on materials genome engineering and big data technology to drive intelligent material design and efficient manufacturing. Its research will be concentrated on three key areas:
Utilizing materials genome engineering to enable intelligent design of hydrogen energy materials;
Employing big data technology to guide high-throughput preparation of hydrogen energy materials;
Establishing an intelligent design platform and application demonstration to accelerate technological innovation and industrial upgrading. The laboratory seeks to tackle key hydrogen energy technologies, advance the field, and produce internationally influential research outcomes to meet China's major strategic needs.
Beijing Key Laboratories primarily engage in fundamental research, applied basic research, key common technology development, and exploratory studies on cutting-edge interdisciplinary technologies. As a crucial component of Beijing's science and technology innovation system, these laboratories provide a platform for attracting and cultivating high-level innovative talents and conducting pioneering research. They are dedicated to solving critical technological challenges, facilitating technology transfer, and fostering new economic growth drivers.
Beijing University of Chemical Technology will take this new approval as an opportunity to continuously enhance the construction and management of the laboratory, further improving its research capabilities. The university will fully leverage this vital scientific research platform to stimulate innovation, promote deep integration of industry, academia, and research, and advance hydrogen energy materials research and applications to higher levels and broader fields.
