A scientific article recently published by CINE researchers and collaborators brings together essential information to improve the latest generation of fuel cells, known by the acronym SOFCs (solid oxide fuel cells). SOFCs are devices capable of generating clean, renewable energy with high efficiency. To produce electricity, they require fuel, but unlike other fuel cells, SOFCs operate with a variety of substances, such as bioethanol, methane, or hydrogen. Therefore, they can…
CINE postdoctoral fellow André Navarro de Miranda attended the Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition 2025, where he presented research on lithium-oxygen (Li-O₂) batteries carried out within CINE’s Advanced Energy Storage (AES) division. The event, held in Tokyo from June 18 to 20, brought together approximately 6,000 participants from around the world, primarily executives, policymakers, and professionals from the energy sector. Lithium-oxygen batteries are promising because of their ability to store…
For Mateus Giesbrecht, current coordinator of CINE’s Energy Generation division, balancing industrial work with master’s and doctoral studies wasn’t easy. But the effort was worth it. As soon as he graduated in Electrical Engineering, Mateus landed a job in industry. For a decade, he worked for multinational companies, working on the design and development of various electrical machines. In parallel, he continued his academic training. His dissertation and thesis focused…
CINE’s Director, Ana Flávia Nogueira, participated in a panel discussion on strategic minerals for the energy transition during São Paulo Climate Week (SPCW). Climate Week is a global event held in different parts of the world, bringing together debates, initiatives, and collaborations proposed by a wide range of social actors, with the goal of accelerating the transition to a more sustainable future. The panel “Rare Minerals and AI: Sustainable Innovation…
