The main topic of my research project is hydrogen generation in molecular-based photoelectrosynthetic cells. The research activity is divided into:
- synthesis of photo- and electro-active species (dyes and cobalt-based metal complexes)
- photophysical and photochemical characterization of these species
- the analysis of possible photo-induced processes
- evaluation of the performance of the obtained materials in photo- and electrocatalytic reactions
