SUNERGY webinar features FlowPhotoChem, our partners and their research

2024-01-16T09:57:54+00:00January 15th, 2024|PI Spotlight, presentation, Project News, public dissemination|

On January 18th, 2023 from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, SUNERGY will host an online webinar titled: Recent advances on photoelectrochemical water splitting. Coordinator Dr Pau Farràs, University of Galway, will present the FlowPhotoChem project alongside FPC partners Nuría López from ICIQ, Sophia Haussener at EPFL, and others. Overview: The combustion of fossil fuels has significantly contributed to environmental pollution and a substantial increase in atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases. This phenomenon has played a major role in escalating global warming and climate change, adversely impacting ecosystems worldwide. In this sense, one of the primary objectives of the European Union is to [...]

Dr Pau Farràs, University of Galway FlowPhotoChem Coordinator Dr Pau Farràs based at the University of Galway in Ireland took some time to respond to questions about his research interests, the photoelectrochemistry field and the role his group ChemLight (https://www.universityofgalway.ie/chemlight/) plays within the FlowPhotoChem project. How and when did you first become interested in photoelectrochemistry?  I have been interested in renewable energy since I finished my undergraduate studies. I did my Erasmus project at DTU (Denmark) on hydrogen storage materials and since then, hydrogen has been on my radar. Then, I learnt about solar energy conversion technologies such as photoelectrochemistry, [...]
