Advanced Energy Conversion Systems Thrust

Development and evolution of systems which either lower carbon emission, increase energy efficiency, or both.

Research Overview

The goal of the Advanced Energy Conversion Systems (AECS) thrust is to develop economically feasible energy systems characterized by high efficiency, fast conversion kinetics, and long lifetimes. The focus is on electrochemical and photochemical conversion that serve stationary power and fuel generation and mobility, and thermal energy conversion that enables efficient heat transport.

For electrochemical conversion, fundamental advances in the understanding of electrocatalysis and ionic and electronic transport properties in solids are needed in order for high conversion rates between electrical and chemical energy to be obtained.

The goal of photoelectrochemical conversion is the development of high-performance systems for splitting water, harvesting solar energy, and generating light by exploring inorganic, organic, and hybrid materials from physical, chemical, and biochemical perspectives and by elucidating potential conversion roadblocks and causes of degradation.
