🌟 Today, we stumbled upon a remarkable breakthrough in green energy, discovered through SciTechDaily, and we would like to share it with you: 🔍 Researchers from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University, and the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) have collaborated to develop a cost-effective catalyst for hydrogen fuel cells. 💧 By partially replacing expensive platinum group metals (PGM) with a more affordable alternative like silver, and simplifying the catalyst application process, they've achieved remarkable results. 💡 This advancement not only slashes costs but also promises to accelerate the practical application of fuel cells for energy storage and conversion. 💼 The collaborative effort between Stanford and Technion Israel Institute of Technology ensures the reproducibility and scalability of this technology, paving the way for further innovations in the field. 📚 Learn more about this breakthrough: https://lnkd.in/ejsRcspi or via this research: https://lnkd.in/e6KtBdJQ Let's continue to support and explore these transformative breakthroughs in hydrogen technology! 💡 #HydrogenInnovation #CleanEnergyFuture 🌱

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱! Since October 2023, we have been working even more closely with Fraunhofer IKTS and 5microns GmbH. We are conducting joint research in the ERDF-funded project "𝗣𝗢𝘅𝗜𝗥: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝘆𝗰𝗿𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗢𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗜𝗥 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗥 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿". Our goal until September 2026: The development of an IR window and its integration into an IR sensor, based on materials and manufacturing processes that are characterized as resource-saving and environmentally friendly.  The funding is provided by the Free State of Thuringia's Research, Technology and Innovation (RTI) program under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).  Promising initial approaches have already been developed in the first months of the project. Many thanks to our strong project partners - we look forward to continuing our collaboration. #erdf #efre #research #sustainable #ir #innovation #ceramic #thuringia #electronicsolutions

🚀 Exciting times ahead! Last week, we kicked off the QuantumIRES project at the Technology Campus Steinfurt, FH Münster. The event was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our project partners, present initial results and ideas, and plan our next steps. We're thrilled about the collaborative journey ahead! 🔍 About QuantumIRES: Our primary goal is to develop a lossless, purely optically connected quantum current measurement system, combined with machine learning methods. This innovation will be used to monitor medium-voltage lines and power converters for grid-connected batteries and renewable energies. 💡 Why It Matters: This cutting-edge research, part of the CETPartnership Joint Call 2022 and co-funded by the European Union, aims to revolutionize energy monitoring and management, driving us closer to a sustainable future. Looking forward to achieving great milestones together! 🌱 🔋 #QuantumIRES #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #MachineLearning #QuantumTechnology #Collaboration #ResearchAndDevelopment #EUFunded #CleanEnergyTransition

Excited to share a recent short-term scientific mission focused on antimony chalcogenides!  Thanks to the ReNew-PV COST Action program, I participated in a mission to IREC - Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. The objective? To delve into the structural, morphological, and electrical properties of Sb2S3 thin films, specifically exploring their potential for indoor and outdoor photovoltaic applications. ☀ Both IREC and UPC impressed me immensely. They boasted cutting-edge facilities and a team of brilliant researchers. The collaborative spirit fostered by ReNew-PV led to a fruitful visit, and we're currently processing the data from our joint research! This experience further underscores the value of programs like COST Action. They offer young researchers like myself invaluable opportunities to learn, develop, and collaborate with esteemed research groups globally. #RenewPV #COSTAction #AntimonyChalcogenide #IndoorPhotovoltaics #ResearchCollaboration #Science #IREC #UPC #taltech #taltechuniversity #emergingPV
