Ally Aukaloo - From molecular to nanostructured materials for artificial photosynthesis

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

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.

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

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

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 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

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 incorporation of shape-controlled metal nanoparticles in Electrocatalysis is contributing significantly to a better understanding of the correlations between surface structure and

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

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

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

Effective large-scale CO2 conversion to fuels or value-added chemicals using renewable energies is critical to reduce our environmental impact [1]. To this end, better understanding of the CO2
