#SolarFuels - Solar fuels through emerging system approaches
Electron-driven chemistries represent a powerful route to increase the deployment of renewables, decarbonizing existing supply chains and enabling circular economies. The electrochemical transformation of chemicals into added-value products, often referred to as solar fuels, has seen rapid progress during the last years, with advances in field of water splitting, CO2 electroreduction, and ammonia electrosynthesis among others.
This symposium focuses on emerging approaches to improve the technoeconomic viability of these technologies at the system level through alternative and complementary reactions. Some of these examples include: integrated capture and conversion of CO2 and direct conversion of CO2-sequestering feedstocks; anodic valorization, such as selective water oxidation or hydrocarbon oxidation (e.g. glycerol, ethylene, methane); tandem integrated reactions; and the generation of high-purity concentrated products.
- Anodic valorization
- Next-generation membranes for system integration
- Direct CO2 reduction from capture solutions
- High-purity product generation
- Integrated tandem reactions
