Presentation Transcript

  1. Milan – University of Milan • Andrea Schievano (Hypothesis Lisbon) • Hydrogen and biogas from (municipal) waste Bacteria1 Bacteria2 % v/v % v/v Municipal waste Landfill waste H2 fermentation CH4 fermentation Algal waste % of algal waste H2 CH4 Yield Yield Production rate Production rate • Experiment with C.reinhardtii • 3g of dry mass in 1l of culture • No H2 production detected (algae too dilute) • Need to filter/centrifuge algal waste and send sludge • Offer of PhD student Ann-Louise for 1 year • Investigating C.reinhardtii nutrient requirements (interest in denitrification potential)

  2. Turin – Hysydays Conference • Committee (all IAHE members and IJHE editors) • Prof Fabio Orecchini • Sapienza University of Rome • Dr Paola Artuso (PV cell and electrolysis system) • Prof Ibrahim Dincer • University of Ontario Institute of Technology • Editor-in-chief of International Journal of Energy Research • World Hydrogen Energy Summit (15th-17th July 2010, Istanbul) http://www.whes2010.org/ • Prof John Sheffield • Missouri University of Science and Technology • Plug-in hydrogen hybrid • Concepts • De Falco (hythane as a route to H2 economy) • Martavaltzi (using CaO as a catalyst for methane reforming AND an absorbent for carbon capture) • Materials • Miyamato (selectively H2 permeable Pd membranes) • Siracusano (IrO2 catalysts) • Mura (TiO2 nanotube arrays) • Collaboration • Parissis (STORIES project – renewable energy on islands) • Anger (Energy from waste by thermochemical processes) • Romagnoli (LCA of biophotolytic routes to solar hydrogen)

  3. 216th Meeting of ECSVienna, 4-9th October 2009 Sessions: F1 Current trends in Electrodeposition F5 Semiconductors, metal oxides … B9 Semiconductor Electrolyte Interface & Photoelectrochemistry Specific Lectures: Dieter Kolb (2009 Olin Palladium Award) John Stickney (2009 ECS Electrodeposition Div. Research Award) Rudiger Memming (Gerischer Award of the Eur. Section. NO lecture, but some interesting reminiscences!)

  4. F1: Electrodeposition • Stickney: electrochemical atomic layer deposition • Deposition of compound semiconductors (CIGS): layer-by-layer growth • Others: • temporal/spatial organisation in electrodeposition (Nakanishi): growth of metal networks via oscillatory processes • protein additives and effect on morphology of electrodeposits (Schwartz) • Patterns in electrodeposits (Dobrovolska): “electrochemical Belousov–Zhabotinsky reactions” in silver alloy deposition.

  5. F5: Semiconductors, Metal Oxides • Rajeshwar: electrodeposition of semiconductors – review • Growth of II-VI, plus TiO2, p-Cu2O • Others: • Josell: CdTe on interdigitated electrodes • Ribeaucort (Lincot): CIGSe • Izaki: p-Cu2O (Eg ca. 2.0 eV) • TiO2/Au nanoparticles composite. Interesting because TiO2 by electrodeposition. • Electrodeposited Fe2O3 and TiO2/WO3 composite • Fe2O3 by electrochemically initiated precipitation

  6. B9: Semiconductor-Electrolyte Interfaces • Major focus:- DSSCs. Characterisation, modelling etc. • Impedance and IMPS methods (NB a commercial IMPS system is now on the market) Hydrogen production • Photoelectrochemistry of Fe2O3: • SD: two significant questions: do I need to invoke surface states to model the material performance? Presence of oxygen? • Heli Wang (NREL): nanorod Fe2O3 (not their own, but good performance), application in a photoelectrochemical diode. • Other: • PV assisted photoelectrolysis with C-TiO2 (Khan); WO3-Fe2O3 “heterojunction”; (In,Ga)N.
