The MP4MNT research group is committed to promoting the use of green H2 through research and development of methods and techniques for its production and use, including storage. This includes the study and development of systems to produce hydrogen from renewables, in particular low-temperature electrolysers, alongside with the design, development and testing of low-temperature fuel cells. Using a multidisciplinary approach, our work focuses on the development of innovative technological processes to develop Pt-free electro-catalysts, porous conductive electrodes, ion exchange membranes and new device architectures. A significant example is our research on ion exchange membranes and binders for fluorine free catalysts, justified by the need to reduce the environmental impact and improve the sustainability of the processes. Our ability to produce and use green hydrogen with traditional electrochemical processes is supported by consolidated experience in bio-electrochemical processes that allow the valorization of organic material, wastewater and waste into electricity and hydrogen. We are also actively working on absorption storage techniques in nanostructured matrices or chemical absorption techniques.
