Modelling, Experimentation and Scaling of Solar Fuel Processing Devices

ChE-605 - Highlights in Energy Research seminar series Solar radiation is the most abundant energy source available but it is distributed and intermittent, thereby necessitating its storage via conversion to a fuel (e.g. hydrogen or carbohydrates) for practical use. Solar thermo-chemical and photo-electro-chemical approaches (and combinations thereof) provide viable routes for the direct synthesis of ...

Benchmarking experiments for numerical quantum chemistry

The relationship between experiment and quantum chemistry can adopt puzzle solving or benchmarking character, depending on whether theory assists in the interpretation of experiment or experiment is used to judge the performance of different quantum chemical approaches. For the spectroscopy of non-covalent interactions, both directions are very useful, but benchmarking activities increasingly tend to avoid ...
