According to RCO News Agency, citing the public relations of Isfahan University of Technology, on Monday, our country’s team won the title of the best team in the second international nanotechnology student Olympiad in Malaysia.
According to this report, the Iranian national team won the top title in the fields of innovation, technology and market by presenting the research project “Production of hydrogen-free fuel using sunlight” in this competition.
The members of this team consist of Hamidreza Ghorbani, a PhD student in materials engineering, Nima Dehghan, a bachelor’s student in materials engineering, and Masoud Attapur As a supervisor, they are from Isfahan University of Technology.
Malaysia’s international nanotechnology competition started on Saturday this week (November 26) and ended today with the introduction of the top teams.
Representatives of five Asian countries including Iran, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan competed in this event in Kuala Lumpur for 2 days by presenting scientific and commercial projects in the field of nano.
Selected projects that can be presented in this course about global challenges in the field of nanotechnology applications in the development and production of new (alternative) energies, including energy It was wind, solar, nuclear, tidal, geothermal, biomass and hydrogen fuel.
The research project “Production of hydrogen-free fuel using sunlight” belonging to the Isfahan University of Technology group was selected from among 15 research projects of Iranian universities and entered the Malaysian Olympiad.
In the plan presented by the Isfahan University of Technology, the water in the device is converted into hydrogen fuel by shining sunlight on the designed nanoplate. Hydrogen fuel is a clean fuel that can be produced without the emission of greenhouse gases and can be used in a variety of energy applications.
The first edition of this Olympiad in 2018 was hosted by Tehran with the participation of teams from eight countries: Taiwan, Malaysia, Russia, South Korea, Germany, Italy, England and Iran, and the second edition was hosted by Malaysia this year after a 6-year hiatus due to the Corona epidemic. was held
Nano Olympiad was introduced and welcomed for the first time in the world by the initiative and proposal of Iran’s Special Headquarters for the Development of Nano Technology in international forums, including the Asian Nano Forum.
