About Us
Nanomaterials for Energy and Water Management (NEW) is a joint research project between HUJ and NTU, to develop novel materials and devices for three themes: Printable energy materials and devices, energy modulation and storage systems for buildings, and materials and processes for energy-water nexus. This project aims to innovate advanced materials in pushing the scientific frontiers in energy aims harvesting, conservation and storage and meet the energy-water nexus needs through innovative manufacturing processes.
The program comprises three themes:
Theme1: Printable energy materials, processes and devices:
Provide platform technologies for fabrication of energy related devices, based on past achievements in 2D printing, and bringing new activity, 3D printing, 3D printing is achieved by using an additive process.
Theme2: Energy modulation and storage systems for buildings
Aim at developing adaptive energy systems and materials that can be integrated into buildings and enable energy storage and focus on addressing the global challenge of excessive energy consumption for thermal management.
Theme3: Advanced materials and processes for energy-water nexus
Focus to integrate some of the findings in the Energy and Water thrusts of Phase 1 of the program, and to bring new ideas that will enable technologies that support water-efficient energy systems or energy-efficient water systems
Researchers
A total of 69 researchers are working in this programme. They consist of post-doctoral fellows, research associates, project officers and PhD students. In the research teams, there are a total of 16 Principal Investigators (PIs) from the two universities. All HUJ PIs hold a joint appointment with NTU.
Highlights
During Phase I, the programme innovations brought scientific impact with over 300 papers published in scientific journals including Nature Chemistry, Nature Communications, Nature Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, etc. The joint research also generated over 60 patents, which the team hopes will lead to licensing and spin-offs. Currently the program has initiated 2 spin-off companies.
Joint PhD programme were created between NTU and HUJ. Intense cultural and scientific research exchanges have occurred between Israel and Singapore.
