The development of low cost, sustainable photocatalysts with focus on dual-functional photocatalysis processes, i.e. H2 production and pollutants degradation, and considering the easy recovery and reuse of the catalysts.
Development of spectral splitting solutions to separate Infrared part of the solar spectrum allowing the PV cells to be thermally decoupled from the thermal absorber, generating high-temperature heat without compromising the electrical efficiency.
Integrate optical, thermal, and electrical subsystem of SPECTRUM hybrid solar collector will be designed and developed aiming to reach an effective total management and distribution of the solar radiation.
Two hybrid solar collector prototypes for low and medium temperature (SPECTRUM-LT and SPECTRUM-HT) will be constructed and tested.
PROJECT IMPACT
SPECTRUM will provide a breakthrough on the energy-water nexus by enabling the synergistic production of energy and wastewater treatment in a single device. SPECTRUM advances contribute to the decarbonization and sustainability of the EU economy by directly tackling challenge.
SPECTRUM will carefully analyse the feasibility of its concepts, which will contribute to the knowledge and scientific proofs of its technological feasibility including the environmental, social and economic benefits.
SPECTRUM will create a solid long-term dependable European innovation base by stimulating a strong collaboration between the stakeholders, and specifically joining R&D with manufacturers ensures knowledge transfer from academia to EU industry.
