What is
OHPERA about?
OHPERA’s main objective is to develop a proof-of-concept unbiased tandem photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell integrating highly efficient and stable photoelectrodes based on halide perovskite nanocrystals and catalytic/passivation layers, minimizing the use of critical raw materials (CRM) to achieve efficient solar-driven H2 production and high added-value chemicals from valorisation of industrial waste (glycerol). For this purpose, OHPERA partners will cooperatively develop the materials, electrodes and components to be integrated into a tandem PEC cell, targeting standalone operation at 10 mA·cm-2 for 100 hours, 90% Faradaic efficiency to H2 with a clearly defined roadmap for upscaling and exploitation.
OHPERA project in a nutshell
OHPERA is developing a new photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell minimizing the use of critical raw materials (CRM) to achieve efficient solar-driven H2 production (reaching more than 90% efficiency in the electrochemical reaction) and high added-value chemicals from valorisation of industrial waste. 6 entities will work on this objective, disseminating the main results through more than 7 scientific publications, and producing a roadmap for the further scaling-up of the solution to reach higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL). The project has received funding from the Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme of the European Commission, for a total budget of approximately € 3.2M, under the schemes of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder calls, which support research and development of emerging breakthrough technologies.
