Hydrogen production via formic acid decomposition using MXenes (HydroForMX)
Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaCoordinator
To combat global warming and consequent climate changes, there is an urgent need for nearly carbon-neutral forms of energy production and storage. The hydrogen (H2) economy is very promising and is expected to dominate energy systems soon. Formic acid (HCOOH) is a renewable, non flammable and...Hydrophobic Eutectic Solvents for Tailored Metal Separation and Recycling (DESignSX)
European ComissionCoordinator
Sustainable metallurgy is environmentally sound and allows reclaiming metal value from end-of-life devices, thereby closing the resource loop. However, the separation of lanthanides (Ln) poses challenges due to their subtle property variations, which affect their recycling economics despite growing demand. In this context, the ERC-funded DESignS...ILIMITED first-ever Ionic LIquid sorbent Methanol synthesis In order To Enable over 80% yielD (ILIMITED)
European ComissionPartner
CO2 emissions remain a challenge, particularly from decentralised sources like wastewater treatment plants. In this context, the EU-funded ILIMITED project aims to tackle this issue by introducing a groundbreaking method for converting CO2 into methanol, an energy-dense fuel. Utilising ionic liquid sorbents, ILIMITED’s system achieves over 80 % ...ILLIANCE (ILLIANCE (WP2 - Desenvolvimento de novos e avançados (IoT) esquentadores de água quente sanitária, como antecipação da transição energética/eletrificação da economia))

Fundação para a Ciência e a TecnologiaPartner
MOTIVATION: Dietary exposure has been considered part of the exposome, therefore food safety is essential for individual and public health. Unquestionably, it is necessary to assure that preventive mechanisms are available to the scientific community and regulators, that rapidly respond to emergent needs of safety assurance of, for example, the...Innovative tools to treat and model complex cancer environments (TheraTools)
European ComissionPartner
Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the TheraTools project will create a multidisciplinary research and training network to focus on the technological development of scientific tools to study malignant tumours localised beyond a biological barrier, as in the case of brain tumours. The TheraTools consortium will provi...Inovação na Fileira da Resina Natural para Reforço da Bioeconomia Nacional (RN21)

Molecular design of electrically conductive COFs as efficient electrodes for lithium batteries (ELECTROCOFS)
European ComissionCoordinator
Used to power electric vehicles and store renewable energy, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) can help reduce carbon emissions. However, LIBs are based on transition metal oxide cathodes. This means they have limited energy density, and it also raises environmental concerns. The EU-funded ELECTROCOFS project will explore organic materials as alternative e...Multi-product biorefinery of seaweed using green solvents (SeaSolv)
