Two members of the SOREC2 research team, Alberto Magliocco (UNIFE) and Aureliano Macili (UAB), participated in the 22nd International Conference on Carbon Dioxide Utilization (ICCDU 2025), held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 23 to 27 June. On 26 June, they delivered each an oral presentation highlighting both the broader objectives of the SOREC2 project and specific […]
On 4–5 June 2025, the SOREC2 project organized its summer school entitled “Exploiting Solar Energy for CO₂ Reduction and Energy Storage” . The school was held at the Università degli Studi di Ferrara (UNIFE), in Ferrara (Italy). The event brought together 36 master’s students, PhD candidates, and postdocs to explore cutting-edge approaches in solar energy […]
On 8 and 9 May 2025, the SOREC2 consortium, through its partner Democracy X, held a two-day Quadruple Helix Multi-Criteria Workshop at the Residence Palace in the European District of Brussels. The event focused on the future development and application of Photo-Electrochemical Cells (PECs) within the context of sustainable energy and carbon capture technologies.
The SOREC2 consortium held its 3rd General Assembly on June 3, 2025, at the historic building of Chiostro di Santa Maria delle Grazie, part of the Polo Chimico Biomedico Mammuth of the Università degli Studi di Ferrara in Ferrara, Italy. The meeting allowed the project team to review progress, plan next steps, and discuss new […]
Carolina Gimbert, associate professor at the UAB and member of the SOREC2 project, was one of the 10 invited speakers at the nanoGe conference The Future of Hydrogen: Science, Applications, and Energy Transition (H2Future25). The event took place on the island of Eivissa from 5th to 7th May.
A team of researchers, including SOREC2 team members, have developed a new way to improve the efficiency of bismuth vanadate photoanodes for their use in photoelectrochemical systems for water oxidation. In a new study, published in the journal Applied Materials Today, the researchers describe the implementation for the first time of a passivation layer in […]
SAULE Technologies is a Polish high-tech company focused on the development of inkjet-printed, flexible perovskite solar cells. These ultra-thin, adaptable cells hold immense potential for a variety of applications, including their integration in new photoelectrochemical solutions. In this sixth installment of our “Meet our team” series, we speak with Łukasz Haryński, who sheds light on […]
Between October and November 2024, the SOREC2 project organized three citizen workshops in Poland, Denmark, and Spain. These citizen meetings were part of the tasks of the Work Package 5. Their primary objective was to gather public opinions and attitudes about Photo-Electrochemical Cells (PECs), ensuring the development of socially and environmentally sensitive Solar-to-Fuel technologies. Participants […]
Alberto Magliocco, researcher from the University of Ferrara (UNIFE), recently completed a one-month research stay at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) to advance his PhD project. His current research project focuses on optimizing bismuth vanadate photoanodes for use in the final SOREC2 photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell, enabling efficient sunlight-driven water oxidation.
Alberto Magliocco, a PhD student in Professor Serena Berardi’s group at the University of Ferrara and SOREC2 team member, participated in the “Chimica sotto l’albero” symposium. This chemistry event, organized by the Italian Chemical Society and the University of Bari Aldo Moro, took place at the Politecnico di Bari from December 19th to 20th, 2024. […]
