ARPA-E\u2019s new Reliable Electricity Based on Electrochemical Systems (REBELS) program recognizes researchers with high-potential, high-impact, pre-commercial projects in fuel cell technologies for distributed power systems. Dr. Liu\u2019s project utilizes methane, a cheap and abundant natural gas, to develop more efficient, lower-temperature and cost-effective fuel cells for grid-level power-generation. Liu\u2019s project was awarded $1 million and was one of only 13 new projects selected nationwide.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cGeorgia Tech has a long-standing reputation for excellence in materials science and engineering,\u201d said Materials Science and Engineering School Chair Dr. Naresh Thadhani. \u201cDr. Liu\u2019s ARPA-E project presents an exciting opportunity for our program to have an even broader impact in solving challenges of great societal importance.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.energy.gatech.edu\/professor-meilin-liu-awarded-1m-grant-us-department-energy-develop-new-fuel-cell-technology\u0022\u003ERead more about Professor Liu\u0027s DOE funded project by following this link.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Meilin Liu, Regents\u0027 Professor and Associate Chair in the School of Materials Science and Engineering, has received a prestigious Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to expand work with fuel cell"}],"uid":"27863","created_gmt":"2014-06-24 09:56:55","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:16:41","author":"Christa Ernst","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2014-06-24T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2014-06-24T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"304751":{"id":"304751","type":"image","title":"ML Liu self-cleaning-fuelcell","body":null,"created":"1449244637","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:57:17","changed":"1475895012","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:50:12","alt":"ML Liu self-cleaning-fuelcell","file":{"fid":"199669","name":"ml_liu_self-cleaning-fuelcell.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/ml_liu_self-cleaning-fuelcell_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/ml_liu_self-cleaning-fuelcell_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":841671,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/ml_liu_self-cleaning-fuelcell_0.jpg?itok=SY4HqH1H"}}},"media_ids":["304751"],"groups":[{"id":"1271","name":"NanoTECH"}],"categories":[{"id":"141","name":"Chemistry and Chemical Engineering"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"154","name":"Environment"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"12701","name":"Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"13460","name":"Meilin Liu"},{"id":"96151","name":"methane fuel cells"},{"id":"96141","name":"U.S. Department of Energy Grant"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"},{"id":"39471","name":"Materials"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":["meilin.liu@mse.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
