Results & Publications
The CLYOSPHERE project aims to develop innovative solar-driven catalytic processes for sustainable hydrogen production. The scientific results generated by the consortium contribute to advancing knowledge in photocatalysis, solar reactor engineering and biomass valorisation.
Key Scientific Results
The project explores new photo(thermo)catalytic materials capable of absorbing a broad spectrum of solar radiation, including ultraviolet, visible and infrared wavelengths.
These catalysts are integrated into porous carbon structures to enhance light absorption and thermal conductivity within solar photothermal reactors.
The research also focuses on the development of innovative photothermal reactors based on Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CPC) configurations enabling efficient solar energy concentration.
