Overview

Welcome to LECS!

The LECS-Lab is led by Dr. Xu Lu, Assistant Professor of Chemical and Mechanical Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). 

A low-carbon economy has been set as the goal by worldwide authorities. To cope with this target, we need to provide a transformative energy conversion and storage chain. The LECS Lab focuses on electrochemical upgrading of high-pressure industrial wastes such as CO2, O2 and water. We are also developing kilowatt scale solar-to-X systems with industrial relevance.
