After 42 months of work, the GENIUS project concludes with key results for the digital and energy transformation of industry. Coordinated by a multidisciplinary consortium (CITCEA-UPC, IREC, Sorigué, and NVISION) with experts in electrical engineering,…
The ALBATROSS project held the closing event on June 17th at the 38th Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS38). Addressing key concerns such as range anxiety, charging times, and battery lifespan, ALBATROSS aimed to develop…
Water electrolysis for green hydrogen production or Power-to-X technologies is one of the most promising solutions to store energy from renewable sources. Among the different types of electrolysis systems, high-temperature Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOECs)…
Optoelectronic devices are rapidly becoming an essential part of modern society. They convert light into electricity or vice versa, with applications such as energy generation (photovoltaic cells) and hydrogen production (photoelectrochemical water-splitting systems). A key…
The 3D-ASSET project which aimed to develop a new generation of highly performing advanced all-solid-state Li-ion batteries (ASSBs) digitally manufactured-by-design, has ended. To achieve this, the shape and architecture of components and cells have been…
The 36-month project “Towards sustainable batteries based on silicon, sulphur and biomass-derived carbon” (2Boss) was completed in May 2025. It was funded under the ERA-MIN call and funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research…
Two IREC researchers, Paulina Martínez and Juan Carlos González Rosillo, receive the prestigious Ramon y Cajal fellowships (RyC 2023) which started in 2025, in the thematic area of energy and transport. The duration of the…
