Researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), in collaboration with Stanford University, Antwerp University and Hasselt University, have achieved an advance in the development of sustainable materials for the production of solar fuels. The research was conducted by Dr. Beatriz de la Fuente within the SUME (Sustainable Materials Engineering) group, and the team of professors Tom Hauffman and Annick Hubin. The team has demonstrated that inexpensive, non-toxic and earth-abundant materials can be used to turn sunlight and CO₂ into sustainable fuels.
