The aim of this project is to radically improve solar hydrogen production, by developing materials that effectively turn visible light into UV light.
In-situ TEM experiments shows that the tendency for elemental mixing- or segregation to occur in Pt–Rh nanoparticles depends on the nanoparticle size and temperature. The smaller nanoparticles (≲13 nm) are stable in the solid solution configuration over the entire studied temperature range. Larger nanoparticles (≳13 nm) tends to segregate when cooled to room temperature. The results are of importance to understand the thermodynamics of this specific Pt–Rh nanoparticle system and it add value towards applications like catalysis, whereof e.g. supported Pt–Rh nanoparticles are attractive candidates for NH3 slip abatement processes.
The goal of the FUNCTION project is to develop novel oxide-based functionality compatible with the prevailing silicon technology for Photovoltaics (PV) devices by understanding and manipulating the electro-optical interaction between embedded semiconducting nanocrystals and a conductive oxide host material.
PROTON is a collaboration project involving five European partners. The aim of the project is to develop new cathode materials for intermediate temparature SOFCs and PC-SOFCs.
