As part of the Purdue Engineering Distinguished Lecture Series, Ted Sargent joined Purdue faculty for a panel discussion on "The Future of Solar Energy Harvesting and Decarbonization Abstract."
The extensive use of fossil fuels over the past century has led to profound impacts on environments and is possibly leading to global climate changes. To address this critical issue and realize a carbon-neutral future, multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research approaches are needed. In this panel featuring Ted Sargent, Lynn Hopton Davis and Greg Davis Professor at Northwestern University, along with experts from ChE, ECE, MSE and ME of Purdue University, we will discuss this important topic from perspectives of solar-to-electricity vs. solar-to-chemical fuel conversion, semiconductor and catalyst design, fundamental materials chemistry and physics, big data and machine learning, large-scale integration and optimization, university-industry partnerships. The panel hopes to shed light on this pressing topic and discuss innovative solutions beyond current understandings.
Moderator: Letian Dou, Charles Davidson Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering
