Chemical engineering doctoral student, Michael Gordon, assembles a test cell for a convection battery developed in the lab of Professor Galen Suppes. The battery, which uses a pump, supplies nearly six times more energy than traditional batteries used in electric cars, and is less expensive.
The newest chemical engineering faculty member, Associate Professor Yangchuan Xing, plans to continue his ongoing research into lithium air batteries that he started while teaching at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Xing joined the MU faculty in January.
