Those working in the field of photoelectrochemistry are aware of the prospects of producing hydrogen or oxygen from water, the so-called water splitting. But there are many other chemical transformations that could be triggered using these type of photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices. In this framework, the ASSET lab has been recently awarded with one of the few National “Consolidator Grants” (199’529 EUR for 2 years) to undertake this challenge and explore the potential of PEC cells as chemical factories.

The project PHOVOS (REF: CNS2023-145354), expected to launch in April 2024, will endeavor to explore the manufacturing of a wide range of industrially relevant chemical reactions using PEC devices. More specifically, a new understanding of the mechanisms whereby these reactions take place will be gathered, and novel concepts in PEC device architectures will be studied, with the ultimate goal of establishing a competitive technology.
