University of Picardie Jules Verne
Prof Mustapha Jouiad is currently full professor at the university of Picardie Jules Verne and head of “Low-dimensional materials for energy” Lab. His focus area is in nanostructured functional materials and advanced characterization. Prof. Mustapha Jouiad obtained his PhD in Materials Science and his Master degree in solid state physics from the University of Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France. Prior to serving as faculty member in Materials Science & Engineering program in Masdar Institute, he worked as research scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC), Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL) and French National research Center (CNRS). Recently, Prof Jouiad research interests are related to the development, modification and characterization of 2D materials for solar energy harvesting, photocatalysis, green hydrogen production and CO2 reduction.
Carbon-free hydrogen fuel is considered a promising source of clean energy toward global decarbonization. Today, there is a growing universal momentum towards research and development on green hydrogen production by considering the general ecosystem to lower the costs for more competitiveness. In this context, several advanced materials were successfully examined and tested for enhanced water splitting reaction and hydrogen production [1]. Among others, 2D materials appeared to show superlative physico-chemical properties enabling them to be the most desirable low-dimensional materials to yield high performance in green hydrogen production via solar driver water splitting [2]. In particular, the synergistic intermixing of gap-less graphene and semi-conducting 2D material such as transition-metal dichalcogenide, showed an amazing increase in hydrogen yield, indicating that this class of materials is a key solution toward future developments to reducing CO2 emissions. In this talk, I will summarize the ongoing research on 2D-materials used for green hydrogen production including the scientific bottlenecks and challenges [3] towards their final adoption at large scale.
