Laboratory testing to measure how hydrogen gas diffuses through materials used in pipelines and infrastructure. This ensures materials can safely contain and transport hydrogen without degradation.

Integrated propulsion systems combining hydrogen fuel cells with battery technology for zero-emission vehicles. Dr. Sunny Li is researching retrofitting traditional locomotives with this hybrid approach.

A technology that combines hydrogen and oxygen in a clean, electrochemical process to generate power, releasing only water vapor as a byproduct.
