The University of Colorado Boulder (CU) is conducting a search for the Director of the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI). Situated in Colorado’s thriving Front Range, RASEI is a joint Institute between CU and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The Institute’s mission is to expedite the development and...

Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is one of the most important approaches being investigated for solar fuel generation. In this study, we determine the maximum thermodynamic power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of PEC water splitting two-bandgap tandem devices that produce multiple carriers per photon absorbed via Multiple Exciton Generation (MEG) or Singlet...

Embracing Low Inertia in Power System Frequency Control: A Dynamic Droop Approach Dr. Enrique Mallada, Assistant Professor, Johns Hopkins University Date: Tuesday, September 3 at 10am Location: ECAD 109 (Clark Conference room) Abstract: The transition into renewable energy sources -with limited or no inertia- is seen as potentially threatening to...

What are the Chemistry and Materials Limitations to Advancing Lithium Batteries to the Next Level? Prof. M. Stanley Whittingham, Chemistry Department, State University of New York at Binghamton Date: Monday, September 16 at 2pm Location: SEEC, Room S228 Abstract: Over the last 40 years, lithium batteries have come from a...

A low-cost, high-performance battery chemistry developed by CU Boulder researchers could one day lead to scalable grid-level storage for wind and solar energy that could help electrical utilities reduce their dependency on fossil fuels.

CU Boulder researchers have developed nanobio-hybrid organisms capable of using airborne carbon dioxide and nitrogen to produce a variety of plastics and fuels, a promising first step toward low-cost carbon sequestration and eco-friendly manufacturing for chemicals.
