Solar Catalysis

About this facility

Infrastructure dedicated to photocatalytic green hydrogen production and wastewater treatment, CO2 utilization and fuel cells development. The laboratory has facilities for (i) small-scale batch synthesis of photocatalytic materials, (ii) lab- scale and outdoor photocatalysic tests. The main specific equipment’s are: High pressure bench reactors with mechanical stirring (0.25L and 1L), lab-scale borosilicate glass photoreactors (0.25L, 0.5L and 0.75L),Tubular solar photoreactor (1.5 – 3 L) mounted on a compound parabolic collector and gas chromatography for characterization of synthetic fuels.
