After three years of intensive work, the ColdSpark® project ended, holding its final event in Stavanger on the 26th of November 2025. The project focused on the development of non-thermal plasma methane technology to produce…
The RENEWBAT project, entitled “Recerca d’elèctrodes reciclats dopats amb MOFs conductors i capes primes d’òxid metàl·lic per a bateries sostenibles d’ió-Liti”, has officially started. The project’s primary goal is to improve the electrochemical performance and…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way new materials are designed and discovered, a process that traditionally required long and complex trial-and-error procedures. The combination of advanced algorithms, simulations, and high-throughput experimentation is opening new…
The Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC) has launched a new pilot line for the manufacturing of ceramic devices using 3D printing for the generation and use of renewable hydrogen. This manufacturing process for complete…
The Catalonia Institute for Energy Research (IREC), the Energy Efficiency Cluster of Catalonia (CEEC) and the R&D&I network Energy for Society (XRE4S), with the support of ICAEN, have co-organised the 7th edition of Innovation Day…
The Hyp3D project, coordinated by Albert Tarancón and Gianfranco Sabato from the Nanoionics and Fuel Cells Department at IREC, has been awarded the Best Innovation Award 2025. The award promoted by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership…
The Spanish State Research Agency has recently granted a Juan de la Cierva fellowship to support the incorporation of a postdoctoral researcher at IREC. This highly competitive programme is designed to facilitate the integration of…
The Smart City Expo World Congress, held this year from November 4-6 in Barcelona, is the world’s biggest and most influential event for cities and urban innovation Bringing together a diverse global community of industry…
The SOLDAC project has recently come to an end. The main goal was to demonstrate the production of carbon-neutral multi-carbon products from the air, through an independent, off-grid, decentralized and market-competitive process powered by solar…
Scientists at IREC have led a landmark study in EES Batteries (RSC) demonstrating, for the first time, that operando Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) can track lithium-ion dynamics at the nanoscale in working battery electrodes (link…
