Electrocatalysis for Energy Conversion and Storage
Prof A Cuesta Ciscar
Applications accepted all year round
Electrochemistry allows to convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy, and vice versa, with high efficiency and, therefore, electrochemical systems are excellent candidates to store energy from renewables and convert it back into work when needed.
Innovative Tandem Catalysis for Clean Chemical Synthesis
Dr X Wang, Prof J Anderson
Applications accepted all year round
Catalysis plays a critical role in modern society, where 90% of all chemical processes involve heterogeneous catalysts. Nevertheless, heterogeneous and biological catalysis is still considered as one of the top 24 challenges in chemistry when asking “what’s next” in 2015.
