European Researchers Night 2021
Posted on November 24th, 2021
LEPABE researchers were present at the European Researchers Night, which was held last September, at Castelo da Foz – Forte São João Baptista - Porto.
The researchers presented the project BluEnergy, that aims to develop vanadium flux batteries for energy storage from renewable sources. Visitors were able to see how low cost, high longevity redox drain stacks are being developed and the respective process and technology.
LEPABE acknowledge everyone who visited us and thanks the effort and dedication of the researchers involved in the preparation of the activities.
LEPABE member is a Highly Cited Researcher 2021
Posted on November 22nd, 2021
Prof. Manuel Simões, senior researcher of LEPABE, was distinguished as Highly Cited Researcher 2021 by Clarivate - Web of Science.
This is a recognition of the true pioneers in their fields over the last decade, demonstrated by the production of multiple highly-cited papers that rank in the top 1 % by citations for field and year in the Web of Science.
Prof. Manuel Simões received this same distinction last year. However, the 2021 ranking has two more researchers of the Chemical Engineering Department at FEUP and another one from ICBAS, totalizing 4 scientists acknowledged from the University of Porto, in a total of 16 researchers at national level.
Congratulations!

Associate Laboratory status for ALICE approved
Posted on March 1st, 2021
ALICE, Associate Laboratory for Innovation in Chemical Engineering, has been approved for Associate Laboratory Status. The ALICE consortium, is composed by CEFT, LEPABE and LSRE-LCM, three R&D Units based at the Department of Chemical Engineering at FEUP.
The Associate Laboratory status is attributed to institutions or consortia of scientific institutions that make institutional commitments to carry out the country's scientific and technological policy objectives, in a very competitive call. The status also grants complementary budget.
Congratulations to all ALICE members for achieving this remarkable result! Know more here.
