The printers allow precise 3D printing using a range of materials, such as nylon and Kevlar, enabling complex components to be created at a fraction of the cost of conventional methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our researchers specialise in the use of electrolysis and fuel cell technology with 3D printing to find new and future-proofed ways of storing energy. Researchers also conduct fundamental research into 2D nanomaterials, including graphene and MoS<sub>2<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:clamp(16.834px, 1.052rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.716), 26px);\">Innovation room<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this space where SMEs, industry professionals and education partners can meet and work with the Centre team to share expertise and develop ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjacent to the innovation room are the officers of the Director and Post-Doctoral Research Assistants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-4 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"540\" src=\"http:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-7.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-7.jpeg 365w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-7-300x247.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"541\" src=\"http:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-8.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-8.jpeg 365w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-8-300x247.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"542\" src=\"http:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-9.jpeg 365w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-9-300x247.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"365\" height=\"300\" data-id=\"543\" src=\"http:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-10.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-10.jpeg 365w, https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/fuel-cell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/468\/2024\/06\/image-10-300x247.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 365px) 100vw, 365px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Manchester Fuel Cell Innovation Centre is home to an impressive rangeof advanced equipment located in seven specialist laboratories and spaces.
