GEECS — Group on Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage
Hydrogen as an energy carrier is a promising solution for decarbonizing industry and transportation sectors. It can feed fuel cells to generate electricity and power fuel cell electric vehicles silently and efficiently. The Group on Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage (GEECS) of CeFEMA is actively researching and developing novel electrode materials and membranes to produce green hydrogen, the one generated from water electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources.
These materials should have high efficiency and low cost, allowing the growth of the so-called hydrogen economy. The research team is also developing new electrode materials for application in fuel cells, batteries, and supercapacitors, as all these energy conversion devices are fundamental for the electrification of society. These will decrease fossil fuel consumption and the associated greenhouse gas emissions, thus minimizing the dramatic effects of climate change.
The overarching objective of GEECS is to advance the development of novel materials and technologies with significant industrial implications for environmentally friendly energy conversion and storage processes. Our focus areas encompass various aspects of sustainable energy technologies, including low-temperature fuel cells, water electrolysis, waste-to-energy electrochemistry, and environmental-oriented electrochemistry. There are 3 main research areas: Fuel cells and electrolyzers, Batteries and supercapacitors and Industrial electrochemistry.
