José Solla-Gullon - Recent advances and remaining challenges on the use of shape-controlled-metal nanoparticles in Electrocatalysis

C-containing Fe-, Co-, and Ni-based catalysts have been synthesized from the controlled pyrolysis of saccharose. The topological properties of the 2D materials were significantly different from

Solar energy is well-recognized as a sustainable and clean energy source. Among the various approaches to solar energy conversion, solar-driven hydrogen production is one of the most promising ways

Twenty years ago, the French scientific community working in the field of hydrogen, started to federate under the leadership of the CNRS. It took the form of successive Research Grouping (GdR)

The synthesis of carbon-neutral/zero-carbon footprint fuels via solar thermochemical processes (“Solar Fuels”) represents a promising approach for the realization of a sustainable energy future.

Since H2 production and conversion efficiencies can be improved and monitored at the molecular scale, reactive molecular dynamics simulations (rMDS) are expected to be of great promise for

Inspired by chemical subtleties at the active sites of enzymes dealing with the CO2 management in our biosphere, we will discuss on how hydrogen bonding and electrostatic effects may thrive the

Carbon nanostructures, including single-walled carbon nanotubes, reduced graphene oxide, and carbon dots, are inserted in TiO2 and ZnO photoanodes with the aim of improving their activity. For the

The increasing CO2 level in the atmosphere is a global environmental problem; therefore, the development of efficient catalytic processes for CO2 reduction is a challenge. Heterogeneous photo

Hydrogen is presented by some industrialists and managers as a potential pillar of the ecological transition, particularly in the context of transport (hydrogen-powered cars, hydrogen-powered

During the past several decades' new carbon allotropes have been accounted for and synthesised. Many notable breakthroughs include exciting works on synthesis, functionalisation, characterisation

Ionic liquids (ILs) in electrocatalysis have attracted a lot of attention from the seminal work of Rosen et al. [1] where they achieved a relevant overpotential decrease for CO2 reduction reaction

The need for novel membrane coated electrodes (MCE) for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2RR) may offer advantages in terms of control of reaction, catalytic activity and
