معرفی
Dr. Alexander Harrison is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford's Department of Engineering Science, joining the Energy Storage and Energy Carriers group in 2024. Based at Begbroke Science Park, he advances sustainable energy technologies through experimental and computational research in solid hydrogen storage systems and chemical looping applications for carbon capture and ammonia production.
Education:
- PhD in Engineering, University of Cambridge (research under Dr. Ewa Marek)
- MA (institution unspecified)
- MEng (institution unspecified)
His research spans solid hydrogen storage, thermo-chemical energy storage, carbon capture, catalysis, and in-situ material characterization. Current projects include reactors for coupled hydrogen storage/carbon capture, solid-state hydrogen storage using recycled Mg-Al alloys, and chemical looping ammonia synthesis with focus on catalyst degradation mechanisms.
Publications from 2022-2025 reveal concentrated expertise in chemical looping technologies, with emphasis on oxygen transport mechanisms in perovskite materials, calcium looping for carbon capture, and low-pressure ammonia synthesis. His work integrates experimental characterization with computational modeling to address reaction kinetics, catalyst design, and material performance across energy storage and conversion systems.
Dr. Harrison collaborates with Dr. Binjian Nie on hydrogen storage projects and contributes to the Energy Storage and Energy Carriers group's mission at Begbroke Science Park. Current initiatives include thermally-integrated hydrogen storage modeling with windfarm output data and investigations into nonstoichiometric materials for selective oxidation reactions.
