Focus-H2 Workshop: 19-20th January 2017

Solar hydrogen generation: perspectives and research opportunities

Photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical water splitting enable the direct use of sunlight to generate hydrogen in an environmentally friendly way, and can contribute significantly to the transition to a renewable energy economy.

However, in order to realize the large scale practical application of these technologies, advances are still required on several fronts, from materials optimization to low-cost electrode manufacture and reactor design.

We have invited to Hamburg a group of experienced researchers in the field, to present their views on the current state and expected future developments in several areas: from basic principles, to materials, systems, and advanced characterization methods.

The workshop is open to all interested students and researchers.
