High energy density Mg-Based metal hydrides storage system (EDEN)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2016,
EDen aims at building a forefront scientific, technological and industrial expertise in energy storage and recovery system. In the past years hydrogen has been indicated as an advantageous energy carrier under many points of view, mainly environment preservation and high energy density.The necessity of hydrogen on specific mobile applications and energy backup system is promoted by the growing dem ...

Ultra-versatile Nanoparticle Integration into Organized Nanoclusters (UNION)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2016,
UNION will develop nanoparticle (NP) assembly techniques, and assembly monitoring technologies to prepare novel hierarchically-ordered nanoparticle clusters (NPCs).By improving control over the synthesis and assembly of NPs we will produce materials with tailored and predictable properties. Furthermore, by incorporating hierarchical control into the assembly (through the type, size and spatial dis ...

Membrane-based phononic engineering for energy harvesting (MERGING)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
The aim of this proposal is to realise a compact thermoelectric module to harvest the energy of devices to be used in applications requiring heterogeneous integration packaging techniques leading to small size, integrability and high thermoelectric efficiency.Our concept, which goes up to a test device, is based on deep understanding of the behaviour of phonons, their control leading to the contro ...

Next Generation Nano-engineered Thermoelectric Converters - from concept to industrial validation (NEXTEC)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,
Global energy uncertainty and the limited recourses coupled with increased energy needs fuels the search for improving the efficiency of energy conversion technologies. Although the EU policies target increased use of renewable energy to 12% of gross energy production by 2010, this commitment has also highlighted the urgent need for improving the energy utilization of fossil-fuel based power-plant ...

Smart light collecting system for the efficiency enhancement of solar cells (EPHOCELL)
Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
The main objective of this project is the study of the various intra and intermolecular energy transfers with the aims to modify the solar spectrum by means of an adequate molecular system. This will permit to improve the similitude between the solar radiation and the absorbance of the photovoltaic materials. This change of spectrum must be realized without significant loss of energy by means of e ...
