Training the next generation of scientists in solar chemicals for a sustainable Europe by hybrid molecule/semiconductor devices

Descripción del proyecto

Más investigación para conocer a fondo los productos químicos solares

Los productos químicos solares están desempeñando un papel cada vez más importante como fuente de energía segura desde el punto de vista ecológico. A pesar de ello, y de pueden destinarse a usos industriales y civiles, la industria europea carece de suficientes datos de investigación sobre los productos químicos solares. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos SOLAR2CHEM formará a quince nuevos investigadores en avanzados conceptos y técnicas, prestando especial atención a las ciencias físicas, con el fin de aumentar la investigación sobre dispositivos híbridos para la fabricación de productos químicos solares. Además, tendrán en cuenta la huella medioambiental de su fabricación y fomentarán el uso de productos químicos solares tanto en la industria como en el sector privado europeos.

Objetivo

SOLAR2CHEM will train 15 early stage researchers to fill the existing gap in the European industrial landscape in the area of solar chemicals production and usage in technical, economic and policy aspects. The consortium is formed by 12 beneficiaries including 9 academic and 3 non-academic organisations plus 8 partner organisations to cover a full training programme on scientific, technical and personal development skills which will include secondments in current world leading countries (Japan, US, Australia) to gather the necessary knowledge and implement it in Europe. The main objectives of the programme are i) to train 15 ESRs in state of the art concepts and techniques, with a strong focus on interdisciplinary knowledge on physical sciences (chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering), providing communication, leadership, management skills and solid professional connections; ii) to advance knowledge on hybrid devices for solar chemicals production focussing on novel molecules and materials exceeding current efficiencies and selectivity, while considering the environmental footprint based on materials availability and manufacturing process. Special attention will be given to state of the art characterisation techniques and modelling; and iii) to cover the promotion of solar chemicals within policy-makers and stakeholders, and the development of the private sector through communication to the general public. Strong links with industrial partners and technology transfer offices will ensure that the existing gap is filled.
