Join us to embark on a journey of exploration and discovery guided by the academic experts behind Una Europa’s Future Materials Focus Area. Let’s come together to envision more sustainable futures built using the materials of tomorrow!
Registration is not required - simply join the Zoom call on the specified dates to get involved!
In our third webinar, we'll be diving into the latest advancements in chemistry and materials science, focusing specifically on "Materials for Solar Hydrogen Production and Biomass Upgrading". Esteemed researchers from Universität Zürich will lead the discussions.
Our first speaker, David Tilley, serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Zürich. His research focuses on inorganic materials geared towards harnessing sunlight and water for hydrogen production (known as solar fuels), as well as electrocatalysis using diverse catalysts, both heterogeneous and anchored molecular ones.
Joining him is Ramon Schnyder, a PhD student under Prof. David Tilley's guidance. Schnyder’s research is centered around Sb2Se3-based photocathodes, specifically designed for solar hydrogen production. Additionally, he explores methods for enhancing biomass substrates to yield platform chemicals, crucial for shaping a new era in the chemical industry.
