The guest lecture by Prof. Dr. Jose Serra from Instituto de Tecnología Química focused on the intensification of catalytic reactors by integrating electrification and solid-state membranes. Dr. Serra highlighted the significance of solid-state ionic materials in chemical reactors and energy conversion devices, emphasizing their role in reducing CO2 emissions through electrification. The talk delved into the application of electrochemical solid-electrolyte cells to enable the design of catalytic reactors that can shift chemical equilibria, enhance product separation, and improve efficiency. Additionally, Dr. Serra discussed protonic membrane reactors using proton-conducting materials to facilitate equilibrium-limited reactions involving H2. He also explained how micro-thermal integration optimizes heat distribution across conductors and the electrification of catalytic processes through microwave-driven redox activation of solid-state ionic-conducting materials. Furthermore, Dr. Serra's research involves innovative methods to create molecular energy carriers like H2 and CO by leveraging redox-activated solid materials and low-energy molecules, showcasing a pathway towards sustainable energy production and decarbonization. His impressive career trajectory and contributions to fuel cell research and energy applications, along with numerous awards and honors, underscore his expertise and leadership in the field of energy materials and chemical engineering.
