Partnership request description: A UK university is working on a FP7 proposal to develop low cost, safe and environmentally-friendly nanostructured inorganic materials for use as solar powered photocatalysts for the production of hydrogen fuel from water. The rational chemical design will result from a strong interaction between synthesis and characterisation of the nano photocatalysts. This will also promote fundamental understanding of key parameters connected to the efficacy of the catalytic materials. Partners from across Europe are sought. Programme: FP7 – Cooperation Theme: NANOSCIENCES, NANOTECHNOLOGIES, MATERIALS AND NEW PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES - NMP Call: 6th Call – 2012 (publication expected: 20 July 2011) Activity: 4.1 – Nanoscience and nanotechnology Topic: NMP.2012.1.1-1 Rational design of nano-catalysts for sustainable energy production based on fundamental understanding
