Description
Description | SCCORE aims to advance the European Green Deal’s goals by developing innovative solutions for CO2 removal. The project focuses on creating a wireless tandem photoelectrode structure that integrates a silicon (Si) photoanode with a copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) photocathode, enhanced by optimized catalysts for bias-free and efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) CO2 reduction to ethylene and glycerol oxidation to dihydroxyacetone (DHA). By leveraging interdisciplinary approaches, SCCORE seeks to overcome the limitations of current PEC systems, which are often reliant on unstable, expensive, toxic, and lab-scale photoelectrodes with low efficiency. The project is dedicated to designing cost-effective, stable, and efficient photoelectrodes that absorb the entire solar spectrum, maintain long-term stability, and are scalable for industrial application, all while using earth-abundant and non-CMR materials. This development will be a significant step towards commercializing PEC cells, contributing to the creation of sustainable and economically viable renewable energy technologies. |
