NSF-funded research project led by Professor Guangwen Zhou to understand the fundamental mechanisms of hydrogen-based direct reduction in steel manufacturing at the atomic level. The project aims to optimize the process by studying intermediate reactions and identifying factors that can improve efficiency.

A process that uses hydrogen instead of carbon to reduce iron oxide to iron in steelmaking. The reaction produces water as a byproduct instead of carbon dioxide, making it a potential green alternative to traditional carbothermic reduction.

The traditional steelmaking method that removes oxygen from iron ore by combining iron oxide with carbon and intense heat.

A technology used in conjunction with steam methane reforming to reduce emissions from hydrogen production.
