OHPERA

OHPERA project aims at tackling the energy, environmental, and climate crisis through the development of a proof-of-concept unbiased tandem photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell to simultaneously achieve efficient solar-driven H2 production and high added-value chemicals from valorisation of industrial waste (glycerol), being sunlight the only energy input. Thus, OPHERA will demonstrate the viability of producing chemicals with economic benefits starting from industrial waste, using a renewable source of energy. For this purpose, OPHERA will integrate highly efficient and stable photoelectrodes based on halide lead-free perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) and tailored catalytic/passivation layers, avoiding the use of critical raw materials (CRM), in a proof-of-concept eco-design PEC device.
