HYDROGENi (https://hydrogeni.no/) is a Centre for Environment-friendly Energy Research (FME), which seeks to develop expertise and promote innovation through focus on long-term research in selected areas of environment-friendly energy. The HYDROGENi centre aims to build a sustainable hydrogen economy with focus on four main research areas: Cost-efficient and scalable production of hydrogen and ammonia; transport and storage in Norway and Europe; end-use technologies; safety and material integrity. HYDROGENi’s activities are a collaborative effort from over 50 Norwegian and European partners from both research and industry covering the entire H2 value chain. In addition, HYDROGENi has the largest ever academic research programme in an FME and aims to educate 35 PhD/postdoc students and over 100 MSc/BSc candidates.
The presentation will give a brief overview of the Centre's activities promoting a technology-neutral approach to clean H2 and NH3 production and scaling-up of production capacity needed for domestic use and export. Several electrolyser technologies are integrated in the centre and represented by technology developers and users: Proton exchange polymer based electrolysis, PEMEL, alkaline electrolysis, AEL, anion exchange membrane electrolysis, AEMEL and proton conducting ceramic electrolysis, PCCEL. The work on these technologies encompasses research on materials (primarily catalysts and electrodes) and manufacturing of cells for optimum performance and durability, study of efficiency and dynamic behaviour of electrolysers through a combination of modelling and experimental testing using dedicated test protocols, and design, operation and process integration of large-scale electrolysers in various applications. In this presentation, we will focus on the work carried out on PCCEL technology, presenting results achieved on materials research and multi-scale multi-physics modelling bridging atomistic scale, electrode, electrolyte and cell.
FME HYDROGENi is financed by the Norwegian government through the Norwegian Research Council’s Centres for Environment-friendly Energy Research program.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
