Research on Renewable Energy and Sustainability
The research activity focuses on the design and characterization of new sensitizers for innovative energy conversion systems from renewable sources and for hydrogen production.
LUMINESCENT SOLAR CONCENTRATORS FROM FILMOGENIC POLYMERIC AQUEOUS DISPERSIONS
The patented technology is an innovative Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC), created from filmogenic aqueous dispersions containing fluorophores with high quantum yield.
CYCLE FOR THE CONVERSION OF LOW ENTHALPY THERMAL ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY
The innovative system for the production of electricity is based on the use of fuel cells within a high-efficiency cycle that converts the thermal energy provided by "low" temperature (e.g. ~ 80 °C) and low enthalpy heat sources.
GNL Regasification for vehicles
The patented technology allows an immediate improvement of the energy efficiency of the means of transport currently on the market and powered (also) by LNG, so as to constitute a reasonable bridge between the short and long-term objectives in terms of energy improvement implement green transport still anchored to traditional methods.
