A photo-electro-catalytic (PEC) cell for direct conversion of water and carbon dioxide into chemicals (CO2 reduction) and oxygen (water oxidation) using exclusively solar energy will be designed, built, validated and optimized. The cell will be constructed from cheap photo-electrodes able to transform sun irradiation into an electrochemical potential difference; ultrathin nanostructured layers of catalysts for […]

Critical Raw materials Elimination by a top-down Approach To hydrogen and Electricity generation
CREATE aims at developing innovative membrane electrode assemblies for low-temperature polymer-electrolyte fuel cell (FC) and electrolyzer (EL) with much reduced cost. This will be achieved via elimination or drastic reduction of critical raw materials in their catalysts, in particular platinum group metals (PGM). Key issues with present low-temperature FC & EL are the high contents […]
