The Catalan Agency for Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR) has awarded Joan Oró grants to hire research staff in training (FI 2025) to researchers at IREC. These grants are aimed at supporting the…
This year, another DocFam+ student joined IREC. DocFam+ is a doctoral training program in Functional Advanced Materials, led by CSIC and ICMAB, which gives the opportunity to 26 researchers of any nationality to conduct their…
The Cell-Manager project, which stands for “Cell level integration of power electronics and sensing for enhanced controllability, reliability and performance of future batteries”, recently held its final meeting, marking its successful completion of its mission…
A review article has been published in the prestigious journal Nature Reviews Chemistry, part of the renowned Nature Portfolio. The paper, entitled “Developing machine learning for heterogeneous catalysis with experimental and computational data”, highlights the…
After 42 months of work, the GENIUS project concludes with key results for the digital and energy transformation of industry. Coordinated by a multidisciplinary consortium (CITCEA-UPC, IREC, Sorigué, and NVISION) with experts in electrical engineering,…
The ALBATROSS project held the closing event on June 17th at the 38th Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS38). Addressing key concerns such as range anxiety, charging times, and battery lifespan, ALBATROSS aimed to develop…
Water electrolysis for green hydrogen production or Power-to-X technologies is one of the most promising solutions to store energy from renewable sources. Among the different types of electrolysis systems, high-temperature Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs)…
Optoelectronic devices are rapidly becoming an essential part of modern society. They convert light into electricity or vice versa, with applications such as energy generation (photovoltaic cells) and hydrogen production (photoelectrochemical water-splitting systems). A key…
The 3D-ASSET project which aimed to develop a new generation of highly performing advanced all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSBs) digitally manufactured-by-design, has ended. To achieve this, the shape and architecture of components and cells have been…
The 36-month project “Towards sustainable batteries based on silicon, sulphur and biomass-derived carbon” (2Boss) was completed in May 2025. It was funded under the ERA-MIN call and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research…
