DESCRIPTION:Prof. Sophia Haussener\,  Laboratory of Renewable Energy Sci
 ence and Engineering\, EPFL\nSolar radiation is the most abundant energy s
 ource available but it is distributed and intermittent\, thereby necessita
 ting its storage via conversion to a fuel for practical use (e.g. hydrogen
  or carbohydrates). Solar thermo-chemical and photo-electro-chemical appro
 aches\, and combinations thereof\, provide viable routes for the direct sy
 nthesis of solar fuels. The former make use of solar radiation as the ener
 gy source of process heat to drive endothermic chemical reactions\, while 
 the latter use photon energy for charge generation to drive electrochemica
 l reactions. Both approaches involve complex interactions between multi-mo
 de heat transfer\, multiphase flow\, charge transfer\, and chemical reacti
 on. This presentation will summarize our efforts in developing modeling fr
 ameworks and experimental platforms for the understanding and design of fu
 nctional solar fuel processing devices.
