Artificial photosynthesis for Solar Hydrogen production and its industrialization - October Stammtisch

The IEEE EPFL Student Branch kindly invites you to participate to October Stammtisch at MED 0 1418 on 31st of October from 18:30 to 20:00. We are excited to have Saurabh Tembhurne as a speaker. The following is a brief abstract of the event.

Solar energy is intermittent by nature, and converting it into chemical energy via photo-electrochemical (PEC) processes is one viable route for renewable fuel processing and energy storage. However, practical viability requires such an approach to be efficient, robust, economically competitive and sustainable at the same time. PEC devices operating with optical and current concentrations can satisfy all these aspects for deployable solar fuel generation. Furthermore, a close thermal and electronic integration of the photoactive and electrochemical component allows to achieve higher operating current densities while maintaining high efficiencies. SoHHytec developed an artificial tree called ‘Arb’ deploying the integrated photo-electrochemical technology which will be presented. Arb is a plug and play solution for solar hydrogen (fuel) and power co-generation. SoHHytec is deploying Gardens and Forests of multiple of Arbs for catering to the needs of industrial, mobility, and energy storage sectors.

You don't need to be a member of IEEE to attend the event, as always, the events of the student branch is open to all.
