Project type: Basic Research.
Research goal: The general objective of the project is the development and study of semiconductor nanomaterials active in visible sunlight, in a double absorber configuration, for the production of green H2 and effective, selective and stable conversion of CO2 gas into C1+/C2+ products of high added value, through artificial photosynthesis. The electronic and structural properties of the materials will be investigated using advanced techniques such as XAFS, XPS, EIS and UV -Vis spectroscopy.
Partnership and financing: Shell Brasil.
