To promote the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry, and deepen industry-university-research collaborative innovation between enterprises and universities, Li Jie, General Manager of CIMC Zhongdian, led a delegation to the College of Energy of Xiamen University on April 9, 2026. The delegation held discussions and exchanges with Associate Professor Zhou Yao's team on core issues including joint research on key alkaline (ALK) water electrolysis technologies for green hydrogen production and the implementation of university-enterprise cooperation.

At the forum, the two sides held in-depth discussions on prevailing bottlenecks in the electrolytic cell industry, pathways for technological upgrading, and industry-university-research collaboration models.

After full communication and consultations, the two sides reached an agreement on joint research and development of core key technologies including boosting the energy efficiency of ALK electrolyzers and enhancing electrode stability.

Moving forward, the two parties will integrate the university’s research strengths and the enterprise’s industrial resources, concentrate on breakthroughs in core technologies for green hydrogen, and accelerate the industrial translation of laboratory research outcomes.
