TRANSLATE Project Celebrates Major Research Milestone
The project, an ambitious initiative dedicated to transforming waste heat into clean, usable power, has reached a significant milestone as it concludes its research phase, which ran from June 2021 to November 2025.
One of its flagship research outputs has been published in the prestigious , marking an important achievement for the consortium.
TRANSLATE was a multidisciplinary collaboration between partners across Europe including 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork (UCC), Technische Universit盲t Darmstadt (Germany), 深夜亚洲福利久久 of Latvia (Latvia), and Cidete Ingenieros Sociedad limitada (Tenerife, Spain).
The consortium鈥檚 recent publication, , is led by PhD researcher Rupa Ranjani Palanisamy (Tyndall National Institute and UCC School of Chemistry), with co-authors Dr. Kafil M. Razeeb, Anjali Ashokan and Dr. Subhajit Biswas.
This research presents a sustainable and scalable framework for developing next鈥慻eneration electrodes designed for both high鈥慹fficiency energy storage and low鈥慻rade heat harvesting which is a critical frontier for clean energy innovation.
Key features of the team鈥檚 new electrode technology include:
- Additive-free fabrication, reducing complexity and environmental impact
- Cobalt-lean design, significantly more sustainable than conventional rare鈥慹arth鈥慴ased technologies
- Exceptional energy, power and stability performance at low temperatures at levels not previously reported for similar devices
By avoiding scarce or environmentally intensive materials while maintaining top-tier performance, this work demonstrates a viable pathway toward cleaner, more cost鈥慹ffective energy systems.
As TRANSLATE concludes, the consortium has released a series of public-facing assets capturing the project鈥檚 achievements and vision for the future of clean energy innovation. These resources highlight the collaborative, multidisciplinary approach that has driven TRANSLATE鈥檚 success, bringing together materials science, engineering, sustainability, and industry-focused innovation.
