The BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Basic Sciences category has gone in this thirteenth edition to Michael Grätzel from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland) member of LICROX’s External Advisory Board (EAB), and Paul Alivisatos from University of California, Berkeley (United States) for their fundamental contributions to the development of new […]

COVID-19 Cancellation “As the impacts of COVID-19 continue, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the 4th Molecules and Materials for Solar Fuels and Chemicals conference, originally scheduled to take place from 13-16 July 2021 in Portugal. The safety and wellbeing of our participants is of paramount importance. We plan to reschedule the conference […]

On October 8th, 2020 the project celebrated its virtual kick-off meeting, which served to introduce the team members, overview the project structure and organisation, look at the different tasks and management arrangements, and plan the main actions for the first months. This is the first of the consortium meetings, which will be celebrated every 6 […]

Achieving artificial photosynthesis would be one of the most efficient paths to fight climate change. Photoelectrochemical cells (PECs) have the potential to become efficient and cost-effective technologies, able to directly convert sunlight into chemical energy. The LICROX project will implement a new type of PECs that mimics photosynthesis. By incorporating three complementary light-absorbing elements, the […]

This  FET Proactive call sought for proposals for cutting-edge high-risk / high-reward research and innovation projects that aim to demonstrate a new technological paradigm within the scope of one of the following sub-topics: a. Human-Centric AI.b. Implantable autonomous devices and materialsc. Breakthrough zero-emissions energy generation for full decarbonization. FET Proactive projects should establish a solid […]
