FotoH2 Coordination Meeting in Messina

The Horizon2020 research project FotoH2, is reaching the end of its first year, and the partners met on December 13 & 14, 2018, in the installations of partner CNR-ITAE in Messina to evaluate the work done in this year, and plan for the next months.

The discussions centered on the results of computational electrode material studies and the physical simulation of the photo-electrochemical reaction and planned the completion of the computational work package and the utilisation of gained knowledge for the prototyping work.

The consortium concluded that the project work is progressing according to the plan, and good results should be expected in time for the mid-term review next summer.

FotoH2 is financed by the European Commission through the Horizon2020 program, and is coordinated by the University of Alicante. It focuses on the design and development of a photoelectrochemical device capable of producing the direct conversion of solar energy into chemical energy contained in the bonds of hydrogen molecules. More information is available at the project's website.
