Solar Energy for Carbon-Free Liquid Fuel

Deliverables

Membrane photocathode assembly suitable for gas-phase operation with performance suitable for integration into a tandem cell for 10% STH efficiency

A set of photocathode membrane assemblies with included protection layers and/or HER electrocatalysts, with at least one asssembly that achieves (or has a concrete action plan to achieve) a water splitting photocurrent of 8.2 mA/cm2 under standard solar illumination.

Visual identity, project website and social media accounts

Visual identity (including a logo) and website will be designed to ensure brand consistency, recognition and visibility of Sun-To-X. Social media accounts (Twitter and LinkedIn) will be created and fed through for the project duration to communicate about the project and disseminate its key results.

Development of a catalytic system able to utilize HydroSil in the reduction of esters and carbonates

A catalytic system will be developped and its potential in the conversion of model substrates representatives of the chemical linkages present in waste plastics will be demonstrated This deliverable hence include the reduction of aliphatic and aromatic esters as well as organic carbonates using HydroSil as the reductant

Intermediate Advisory Board recommendations report

Report summarising the advisory board recommendations after the first meeting The meeting should have been attended by all advisory board members and the coordinator Relevant feedback should be discussed between the coordinator and SuntoX participants Where relevant a clear plan for implementing advice should be made

Final Advisory Board recommendations report

Report summarising the advisory board recommendations after the second meeting. The meeting should have been attended by all advisory board members and the coordinator. Relevant feedback should be discussed between the coordinator and Sun-to-X participants (EPFL / ENGIE). Where relevant, a clear plan for implementing advice in the demonstrator stage should be made.

Data Management Plan

Description of the data management plan for the project

Report on the activities of collaboration with IC5

Report summarising the actions during the project with Mission Innovation IC5- contributions to their roadmap, demonstration activites, synergies / interactions with other IC5 projects

Guidelines generated from the validated multi-physics model of the PEC device

Model should give reasonable predictions of photocurrent same order of magnitude after validation Strategies to improve performance by considering for example efficiency of light absorption and current collection should be presented
