Global energy demands and increase in the utilization of fossil fuels have contributed towards rising CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, giving rise to grave environmental concerns such as the green house effect. In order to achieve decarbonization of the energy system, the European Green Deal considers the development of innovative technologies, as the one contemplated […]
Fuel forming electrocatalysis: Devising multifunctional covalent organic frameworks with vinylenic linkage for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction and water oxidation
Photoelectrochemical Oxidation of Methane using Single Atom Catalysts
Natural gas (primarily methane, CH4) is still a major energy source that is often simply flared into the atmosphere without being harnessed. As a cumulative result, unprecedented CH4 spikes have been reported lately in Earth’s atmosphere. Combined with the already existing Global warming concerns posed by other greenhouse gases such as CO2, CO, NOx, etc., […]
Engineering Selective and Durable Catalysts for Artificial Photosynthesis towards Sustainable Chemistry Production
Photoelectrocatalytic systems for solar fuels energy integration into the industry with local resources
The PHOTOSINT project presents solutions to the challenges chemical industries are facing in integrating renewable energy sources into their processes. The project will deliver sustainable processes to produce hydrogen and methanol as energy vectors using only sunlight as an energy source and wastewater and CO2 as feedstocks, making the industries more auto-sufficient. The pathway is […]

Development of new catalysts for oxidation and reduction chemistry in the context of Artificial Photosynthesis
The AP2Chem project entails the long-term aim of using visible light or redox potential as driving force for the synthesis of fuels and highvalue chemicals. To this end, there is still a need for more robust, energetically efficient (low overpotentials), selective and faster (TOF) water oxidation catalysts (or oxygen-evolving reaction catalysts), H2O and CO2 reduction […]
