CESC aims to transform CO2 into compounds of economic interest, tackling two hot issues: The first one is thedecarbonization of relevant industrial processes contributing to a safer and healthier environment. The secondone is to use CO2 as a primary source to produce chemicals of economic interest such as CO, CH4 and otherC2 (i.e., ethylene) products […]

Flexible Perovskite Solar Cells with Carbon Electrodes
Several advantages arise from the incorporation of carbon electrode in the perovskite solar cell (PSC) architecture such as reduced material cost, improved device stability and simplified device fabrication process as well as lower emissions. Thus, the primary objective of PEARL is to realize flexible perovskite solar cells processed with industrially viable, scalable and environmentally sound […]

Engineering Excited States, Orbital Coupling and Quantum Coherence Phenomena in Photoelectrochemical Energy Conversion Devices
Excited aims to advance fundamental understanding to light-initiated reactions in molecular sensitizers that can display quantumcoherent behaviour in their excited state dynamics at room temperature. Moreover, it will focus also on the investigation of quantum coherent contributions to the solar-to-energy conversion efficiency in solar cells. Understanding the importance of quantum-coherent dynamics in biological systems has […]

Photon induced Spintronics on Hybrid Organic-inorganic Perovskites: Effect of Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupling
In the Last few years, hybrid organic-inorganic trihalide perovskite (HOIP) solar cells an imperative and motivating research field and this is an interesting multifunction material owing to their high carrier mobility, semiconducting properties, and extremely high performance in solar cells (achieved solar power conversion efficiency is >25%). On the other hand, a numerous theoretical and […]
Innovative photocatalysts integrated in flow photoreactor systems for direct CO2 and H2O conversion into solar fuels
NEFERTITI will develop an innovative highly efficient photocatalytic system enabling a simultaneous conversion of CO2 and H2O into solar fuels (ethanol and alcohols with longer chain such as (iso)propanol) and thus provide a breakthrough alternative to transform CO2 into valuable products for energy and transport. NEFERTITI aims to integrate novel heterogeneous catalysts (Covalent organic frameworks […]
Integration of molecular solar cells and electrocatalysis for CO2 reduction
INTEGRA2 aims to study novel materials and analyse and understand photo-electro catalysis of carbon dioxide (CO2) using solar cells as a current/voltage source and carbon based materials as electro active catalysts. The project targets to rationalize the products of the CO2 reduction, with the applied electrical bias, the nature of the catalyst and the reactor […]
Distributed chemicals and fuels production from CO2 in photoelectrocatalytic devices
DECADE project proposes a new photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) approach for the conversion of CO2 avoiding water oxidation as anodic reaction to overcome the current limits in PEC system and to maximize effective energy utilization. Novel PEC technology will be developed up to TRL 5 (prototype testing under environmental relevant conditions) using alcohols and waste CO2 as […]
