In 2016, the Paris Agreement was signed by 196 state parties to pursue efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C. In order to meet these goals, countries need a plan to mitigate their emissions. Generally, such a plan is connected to a process of energy transition. Moving away from fossil fuel dominated energy supply to a more renewable one. However, moving to a renewable energy supply, su…

Fuel cells are devices that transform the chemical energy of the oxidation reaction of a fuel into electrical energy and, if hydrogen from renewable sources is used as fuel, are alternatives for generating clean energy. Considering the context of the energy transition, these devices have great potential to offer interesting solutions, however, their production is still very expensive. To …
This PhD project aims to study the dynamics and efficiency of fuel cells, focusing on imaging mass transport using ozone. The goal is to understand the relationship between the spatial distribution of reactants, the morphology of electrodes and mass transport channels, and the electrochemical performance of fuel cells, specifically solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and polymer electrolyte fu…
The search for clean and renewable energy sources is crucial to mitigate environmental impacts and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Ceramic fuel cells have the potential to offer an efficient and sustainable solution, while the direct use of ethanol simplifies the supply chain and has the potential to expand the application possibilities of this system. Traditional ceramic fuel cell pro…

This project proposes an innovative investigation to identify ideal ceramic materials as electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that operate with direct ethanol. Through the employment of advanced computational modeling and machine learning techniques, the aim is to select the most promising materials to enhance the performance of SOFCs, considering both energy efficiency and the …
This work is within the scope of the São Paulo Excellence Chair (SPEC) project for the research and development of computational models of fuel cells. One of the research lines of this project is related to the development and optimization of fuel cells, which present chemical reactions between gas flows, thus qualifying them as compressible flows. Given the complexity of fuel cells and t…
The vinasse is an agroindustrial wastewater that may represent an economical alternative with low carbon footprint to the commercial fertilizers. However, when it is direct applied to planting (in natura), the vinasse can cause several environmental and economical issues associated to water and soil degradation, emission of greenhouse gases and transport logistic difficulties. Currently, …
