SOREC2 advancements featured at the Spectroscopy and Electrochemistry Summer School 2024

Alberto Magliocco, a PhD student in Professor Serena Berardi’s group at the University of Ferrara (UNIFE) and a member of the SOREC2 project team, recently participated in the Spectroscopy and Electrochemistry Summer School. Hosted by the Chemistry Department of the University of Padua, the event took place in Jesolo, Italy, from September 15th to 20th, 2024.

During the summer school, Magliocco delivered a flash oral presentation entitled “Thin BiVO4 photoanodes for photoelectrochemical assemblies powering CO2 reduction.” In his presentation, Magliocco highlighted the SOREC2 project’s vision and objectives, as well as the team’s recent advancements in optimizing thin BiVO4 photoanodes for water oxidation through molybdenum doping.
