The SOLBAT (Towards High Energy Density All Solid State Lithium Batteries) project took place between 2019 and 2021. It was carried out by Zahilia Caban Huertas at Energy Storage and Harvesting group at IREC in…
The MasterPV project has addressed the development of innovative transparent back contacts in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells for cost efficient semi-transparent modules. CIGS semi-transparent modules can be achieved with transparency levels up to 30%-40% by…
The main goal of the CD&HYCATS project was to develop new catalysts based on transition metal carbides (TMC of 5 and 6 groups) for their application in two processes: the alternative H2 production using biomass…
Nowadays, power converters are essential for the energy transition towards a system based on renewable electric energy generation, the electric power storage and the electrification and integration of the new vehicles. In the framework of…
Four national R+D+i projects under the “retos de investigación” call start this autumn at IREC. The funding promotes R+D+i activities in order to increase the competitiveness and international leadership of Spanish science and technology. The…
In industrial wastewater, the great variability of its polluting parameters makes it difficult to treat. In general, industrial effluents contain poorly biodegradable compounds, and its presence affects negatively the proper functioning of biological treatments. In…
Huge amounts of energy are wasted as low grade heat during conversion, transportation and end use. While several technologies can convert heat into electricity, none of them is cost-effective for the conversion of low-grade waste…
IREC has been granted the HiFv project, which is an INNOTEC project for industrial research and experimental development between a Catalan company (Àliter Grup Renovables) and TECNIO accredited technology developer (IREC). The HiFv project stands…
IREC has developed an innovative method of quality control and industrial monitoring compatible with industry 4.0 that allows optimizing the production of complex materials in different fields, such as the manufacturing of smart photovoltaic windows,…
SUNRISE is a H2020 funded project that stands for “MultiSensor sorting tools in a circular economy approach for the efficient recycling of PVB interlayer material in high-quality prodUcts from laminated glass coNstRuction and demolItion waStEs”.…
