CityUHK researchers transform vibrations into clean fuels and chemicals through piezosynthesis

HONG KONG , July 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From ocean waves and flowing rivers to the systems used to transport and treat water, vibrations are everywhere. But can vibrations do more than just shake water? Can they split water or drive the production of useful chemicals from water? A research team led by Professor Ravi from SEE at CityUHK has demonstrated how mechanical vibrations can be harnessed to drive the production of useful chemicals from water. A research team led by Professor Sai Kishore Ravi from the School of Energy and Environment (SEE) at City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) has
