Sintesi del contesto e degli obiettivi generali del progetto

The project focused on the design of bio-protein (FPs) and phase change materials (PCMs) based solar–thermoelectric energy conversion devices. In this respect, it is highly desired to boost the light absorption and light-heat conversion capacity.
During this project (short period/8 months) I was engaged around to biogenic material synthesis and photothermal performance assessment.

Lavoro eseguito dall’inizio del progetto fino alla fine del periodo coperto dalla relazione e principali risultati finora ottenuti

Developed biogenic composite PCMs for thermometric applications using eco-friendly Fluorescence proteins (PFs) and biodegradable additives. Investigated optical properties and conducted photo-thermal conversion & thermal stability testing analysis. The created material achieved high thermo-optical characteristics and solar-thermal conversion performance compared to conventional PCMs.

Progressi oltre lo stato dell’arte e potenziale impatto previsto (incluso l’impatto socioeconomico e le implicazioni sociali più ampie del progetto fino ad ora)

Inclusion FPs (E2-Chrimson) significantly enhanced solar light absorption and boost the photothermal conversion ability. The newly designed energy storage material (biogenic composite PCMs) is flexible, cost effective and sustainable, which make it very promising for energy storage and thermoelectric applications.
