The reasons for this need are manifold and include limited supplies of fossil fuel, and the aim to reduce green house gas emissions. While any future green energy mix most likely will have contributions from a number of different renewable sources, our research focusses on solar fuels, photovoltaics, thermophotovoltaics, and related materials.
