Risultati finali

Documents, reports (11)

Scientific & Technical management report I

Initial report on scientific and technical matters, as addressed in WPs 2, 3, 4 and 5, related to the implementation of the project. It is produced as part of T1.2 and elaborates on the progress, findings and challenges faced by the Work Package Leaders while recommendations are also formulated.

Requirements traceability matrix for the new-concept, single-tube reactor.

The deliverable includes a set of requirements and specifications needed for the reactor design. It is produced by T3.1.

Comparison report of the new PR to classic PRs: product yield and LC

The deliverable compares the new PR to classic PRs. The results of investigations performed in T3.3.

Report on correlations between photoelectrochemical performance and materials properties (structure, morphology, charge transfer mechanisms, selectivity, and solar to fuels efficiency

The results of work performed in T2.4. The deliverable provides a report on the study of correlations between photoelectrochemical performance and materials properties.

Report on assumptions and scenarios

In a short document, the main methods for the life cycle sustainability assessment, the set of scenarios, and the scalability assumptions will be defined for further analysis. The deliverable is produced by T5.1.

Level 1 Single-tube reactor 15mL.

D3.2 includes the design and P&I drawings of the 15-mL, single-tube reactor, as well as the delivered constructed reactor ready for experimental studies. It is produced by T3.2.

Fabrication of bioinspired materials able to provide C2+ products

The deliverable consists of bioinspired materials able to provide C2+ products. The results of work performed in T2.2.

Scientific & Technical management report II

Intermediate report on scientific and technical matters, as addressed in WPs 2, 3, 4 and 5, related to the implementation of the project. It is produced as part of T1.2. and elaborates on the progress, findings and challenges faced by the Work Package Leaders by M36 while recommendations are also formulated.

Report on the validation of the PEC material in the new Level 1 PR.

The new Level 1 PR constructed by AEE will be installed at IC2R and directly connected to a GC-MS. Tests will be run under a solar simulator to determine the nature and abundance of the reduction products and LC using either photocatalysts or photoelectrocatalysts. These data will help to iteratively go back to the assembly and find the best-suited conformation.

PEDR II

The deliverable consists of the intermediate PEDR of the project, identifying key stakeholder groups with engagement strategies and tactics. It will also report on TECBP and clustering activities from T6.1 and T6.2. It includes a report on the contribution to the R&I strategy and standardisation from T6.3.

PEDR I
