On December 10, the stakeholder meeting organized by the European Commission on “Driving EU prosperity: The future of Knowledge Valorisation” took place in Brussels, with live streaming broadcast. The program, […]

Catalyst degradation mechanisms in Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolysers

Hydrogen is recognised as a clean energy carrier that could play a key role in reducing global carbon emissions. In Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysers (PEM WE), the hydrogen evolution […]

Ensuring the economic and environmental viability of fuel cell technologies through materials separation and recycling

Recycling as a key of material circularity and societal acceptance   Production of energy from renewable sources is one of the keys to face the ongoing environmental crisis. The intermittency […]

Enhancing Decision-Making in Materials Development through Materials Modelling

Developing new materials involves navigating a series of complex decisions. For example:   Should the focus be on improving performance or reducing cost? How will manufacturing processes impact material properties? […]
