PROCESSES AND TECHNOLOGIES FOR A RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY: THE CONTRIBUTE OF IPCF

Choosing renewable energy from wind, solar, hydro, and biomass sources plays an essential role in reducing emissions and moving the global energy transition forward, as also requested by the European Community. Many national and international projects have been funded and now research activities PNRR-funded are starting to develop materials, components and equipment for the conversion and accumulation, the interoperability of sources, the flexibility and the integration of energy systems. In this direction, various groups belonging to the Institute for Chemical and Physical Processes (IPCF), have based their research activity on both an experimental [1-8] and theoretical [9-10] approach in: synthesis and functionalization of nanostructured materials for electrodes and sensitizers realization of dye-sensitized solar cells development of innovative materials, processes and technologies for the production of hydrogen improvement of reliability, efficiency, flexibility and resilience of the national energy system through a multi-scale computational modeling approach development of machine-learning algorithms and of networks for the construction of smart grids for energy management.
