Electrochemical Conversion of Fuels (ECOFUELS)

Description

The improvement of our scientific infrastructures served our goal to pursue internationalization through international projects or other collaborations, interexchange of students, co-authorship of large numbers of scientific papers and participation in the organization of scientific events. The team also established stronger contacts with other research groups in Portugal, including the Consortium ÉDEN, with R&D activities in eletrochemical systems for energy conversion, the so-called hydrogen society and to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Our research activities, which have been mainly focused on high temperature electrochemical systems, are being extended to low or intermediate temperatures. New projects have been started or prepared on new areas of energy, including renewable energies, environment, and carbon dioxide mitigation or sequestration. The group has also contributed to public awareness about the importance of energy, environment, and the role of materials on the issues, with emphasis on actions dedicated to high school students.
