Sin embargo, falta mucho para que el sol sea una fuente energética principal. Numerosos centros de investigación y empresas trabajan para mejorar la eficiencia de los paneles solares, aumentar su vida útil y producir nuevos materiales. Algunos gobiernos han apostado económicamente y han establecido marcos regulatorios para apoyar dichas innovaciones. La sociedad civil debe tener también un rol central. Tal como a menudo sentencian los movimientos activistas “la revolución energética en manos de la ciudadanía es el camino”. ‘GenerationSolar’ es una iniciativa de ciencia ciudadana, enmarcada en el proyecto europeo GRECO, con dos objetivos principales: a) empoderar a la ciudadanía mediante acciones que fomentan un conocimiento más profundo sobre la energía solar, su investigación y sus usos; y b) establecer una plataforma en la que la propia ciudadanía participe activamente en la investigación. La ciencia ciudadana representa un campo de acción a caballo entre múltiples disciplinas, si bien ha sido desde el sector de la comunicación científica, médica y ambiental desde donde ha sido más activa. Hace ya décadas que se intenta mejorar el equilibrio entre la comunicación unidireccional (el que sabe instruye al que no sabe) y las formas de comunicación más innovadoras basadas en la participación y la colaboración para la acción. GRECO unió a investigadoras, comunicadoras y ciudadanas -a través de encuestas, una hackathon online y desarrollo informático- para lanzar GenerationSolar en el Día de la Tierra 2020: un aplicativo móvil en el cual la ciudadanía registra sus instalaciones y crea una base de datos sobre la producción solar global. A dos meses del lanzamiento, la app cuenta con 71 registros y más de 22 MW de energía reportada. -- ENG -- After decades of technological advances and price reductions, solar energy can compete in the marketplace with fossil fuels in many regions of the world. However, the sun is a long way from being a main energy source. Numerous research centers and companies are working to improve the efficiency of solar panels, increase their useful life and produce new materials. Some governments have gambled economically and established regulatory frameworks to support such innovations. Civil society must also have a central role. As activist movements often state, "the energy revolution in the hands of the citizens is the way." ‘GenerationSolar’ is a citizen science initiative, framed in the European GRECO project, with two main objectives: a) to empower citizens through actions that promote a deeper understanding of solar energy, its research and its uses; and b) to establish a platform in which citizens themselves actively participate in the investigation. Citizen science represents a field of action between multiple disciplines, although it has been from the scientific, medical and environmental communication sector where it has been most active. For decades, attempts have been made to improve the balance between one-way communication (the one who knows teches the one who does not) and the most innovative forms of communication based on participation and collaboration for action. GRECO brought together researchers, communicators and citizens - through surveys, an online hackathon and computer development - to launch GenerationSolar on Earth Day 2020: a mobile application in which citizens register their facilities and create a database on global solar production. Two months after launch, the app has 71 records and more than 22 MW of reported energy.

Para logar las reducciones de contaminantes que se acuerdan en las cumbres internacionales es necesario, entre otras medidas, la reducción de emisiones en la producción de electricidad a partir de combustibles fósiles, entre ellos el carbón. La presente Tesis Doctoral propone una metodología y una serie de herramientas de toma de decisión cuyo fin es evaluar y aumentar la sostenibilidad del proceso de generación de electricidad a partir del carbón. Esta metodología está basada en programación matemática para resolver problemas de optimización multi-objetivo. Además es aplicable a un amplio rango de procesos e industrias que se enfrenten a problemas de decisión similares If the pollutant emission level continues as usual in the late years, especially those of carbon dioxide (CO2), the atmosphere concentration projections are dramatic (above 600 ppmv) with irreversible consequences to the planet. In order to achieve the binding targets of reductions agreed in the international summit meetings, it is necessary the reduction of emissions from the electricity production from fossil-fueled power plants, especially coal-fired. The objective of this work is developing a methodology and providing tools that help in the decision making process in order to evaluate and enhance the sustainability of the electricity production process form coal. This methodology is based on mathematical programming that allows solving multi-objective optimization problems. Besides, it is applicable to a wide range of processes and industries that face similar decision problems.

En este sentido, en esta tesis se han propuesto distintas topologías inversoras y rectificadoras de alta eficiencia, operando en clase E, para su uso en la transmisión eficiente de señales de comunicaciones y alimentación inalámbrica. Por un lado, se han diseñado amplificadores de potencia de alta eficiencia con tecnología GaN HEMT, empleados posteriormente en la implementación de distintos transmisores outphasing. Asimismo, se han diseñado convertidores DC/DC Clase E2, compuestos por un inversor y un rectificador síncrono a GaN HEMT, para su uso como moduladores de envolvente en arquitecturas ET/EER. Por otro lado, se han diseñado rectificadores síncronos con dispositivos E-pHEMT, con eficiencias en el estado de la técnica, enfocados hacia aplicaciones de transferencia de potencia en campo lejano y de reciclado de energía. In the RF/Microwave field, efficient wireless transmission systems are being developed in order to reduce base stations electric consumption, extend battery lifetime in handsets, as well as to remotely power up wireless devices by means of wireless powering transmission (WPT) or even energy harvesting solutions. In this sense, high efficient inverter and rectifier topologies, operating in class E, have been proposed in this thesis to be used on wireless communications and WPT. On the one hand, high-efficiency power amplifiers based on GaN HEMT technology, have been designed, which were used as a part of outphasing transmitters afterwards. In addition, using GaN HEMT amplifiers and synchronous rectifiers, Class E2 DC/DC converters have been designed, to be used as envelope modulators in ET/EER architectures. On the other hand, synchronous rectifiers with E-pHEMT technology, focused on far-field power transfer and energy harvesting applications, have been designed. State-of-the-art efficiencies have been measured in some implementations.

En el presente artículo se exploran las percepciones sociales sobre la energía nuclear en España a partir de un análisis de encuestas de opinión y de los argumentos de actores de tres estudios de caso (Vandellós I, Valdecaballeros y ATC). Los resultados muestran cómo las argumentaciones de unos y otros actores se basan en diferentes dimensiones del riesgo, a menudo ignoradas en las encuestas y por varios de los actores, lo cual supone una seria dificultad para superar las controversias suscitadas por este tipo de energía. Nuclear energy is a complex technology that requires intensive use of resources and high centralized decision-making processes, whose governance poses a real challenge for democratic societies. In this article we explore the social perceptions about nuclear energy in Spain through the analysis of opinion surveys and secondary data about the main actors of three case studies (Vandellós I, Valdecaballeros, and Radioactive Waste Storage). The results show how the arguments of the several actors are based on very different dimensions of risk, often ignored in the surveys and by the actors, which represents a serious difficulty to overcome the controversies caused by this type of energy.

En colaboración con ellos, buscamos reproducir la mecánica de un ensa- yo en un túnel de viento de un prototipo mediante una simulación. Hasta el momento no se ha realizado ninguna de forma correcta sobre el dispositivo. El problema tiene tres aspectos clave: no es estacionario, la malla debe ser dinámica y la turbulencia toma un papel fundamental. Por ello, desarro- llaremos el estudio por etapas. En primer lugar, una etapa bidimensional estática con cilindros para familiarizarnos con el programa y el fenómeno físico. En segundo lugar, una etapa bidimensional dinámica para implementar correctamente el movimien- to de la malla en OpenFOAM y entender el problema oscilatorio. Para ambas etapas se han realizado simulaciones y los resultados han sido contrastados con los disponibles en la literatura. En una tercera etapa, se ha procedido a demostrar la viabilidad del estudio del Vortex con OpenFOAM realizando para ello simulaciones tridimensionales utilizando una geometría simplifica- da del dispositivo. A diferencia de las simulaciones bidimensionales, el coste computacional de estas excede las capacidades de cálculo de un ordenador personal. A pesar de ello, se ha podido acceder a un superordenador, que ha permitido validarlas. En este trabajo nos limitaremos a números de Reynolds bajos. Para números de Reynolds elevados, es necesario emplear modelos de turbulencia. Tal estudio queda fuera del alcance de este documento y se propone como trabajo futuro. La simulación del dispositivo es totalmente funcional en régimen laminar así como el modelo para la varilla elástica utilizado. Finalmente, se proponen algunas estrategias para incorporar modelos de turbulencia necesarios para el estudio del dispositivo en regímenes de funcionamiento de interés práctico. In this work, we present a numerical simulation of the flow about Vortex, a new concept of wind turbine proposed by the Spanish start-up Vortex Bladeless, using the open source CFD software OpenFOAM. At present, the numerical simulation of this type of flow remains a challenging task: the geometry of Vortex evolves with time, the flow is unsteady, and in the flow regime of practical interest the flow is turbulent. Therefore, we face the pro- blem gradually. Firstly, numerical simulations of flow around two-dimensional cylinders are presented. We consider steady and unsteady flow around a fixed cylinder. Then, the flow around spring-mounted cylinders is investigated using the dynamic-meshes capabilities as implemented in OpenFOAM. This stage has been carried out and the results agree with those found in the literature. Secondly, three-dimensional simulations of a simplified dynamical model of Vortex are presented. Unlike two-dimensional simulations, three-dimensional computational costs exceed the personal computer calculation capabilities. However, in the final stages of the project, university’s supercomputer has been used for validate the proposed methodology. Even though the device operates in turbulent flow, we have focused on the laminar regime. The choi- ce of turbulence models deserves attention as a separate problem and is left as future work. Finally, we discuss our findings and propose future proposals. Laminar simulation of the final Vortex is fully functional as well as the springs model for the carbon fiber bar. Finally, some turbulence modeling strategies are discussed to set up in the problem with high Reynolds numbers for the interest of practical cases. Colaboración con la empresa Vortex Bladeless

En este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo es la intensificación del proceso de absorción de CO2 convencional en dos etapas: i) Sustitución del equipamiento convencional (e.g. torres de absorción) por sistemas de membranas para una absorción no dispersiva que elimine el arrastre de gotas y, ii) Sustitución del absorbente de referencia (monoetanolamina, MEA) por líquidos iónicos, con presión de vapor despreciable, que permite eliminar las pérdidas de disolvente por volatilización. En la presente Tesis Doctoral se desarrolla un proceso con cero emisiones de disolvente mediante la integración de equipos de membranas y líquidos iónicos, como estrategia para la intensificación del proceso de captura de CO2 de post-combustión. Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS), is a technology aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas impacts from fossil fuels combustion in industrial and energy-related processes where, carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is the bottleneck step where the efforts have to be applied. In this context, the aim of this work is to intensify the absorption process by two steps: i) Substitution of conventional equipment (e.g. scrubbers) for non-dispersive absoprtion membrane systems to avoid drops dragging and, ii) Substitution of the reference absorption solvent (monoethanolamine, MEA) for ionic liquids, with negligible vapour pressure, to avoid solvent losses due to volatilization of the solvent into gas stream. Thereby, in this PhD Thesis a zero solvent emission process trough the integration of membrane systems and ionic liquids is developed as a process intensification strategy for the recovery of CO2 from post-combustion streams.

En este contexto, la electrorreducción de CO2 hacia hidrocarburos representa una solución prometedora para disminuir la dependencia de los combustibles fósiles utilizados en la síntesis de productos químicos, ayudando, al mismo tiempo, a mantener el CO2 en un ciclo neutro en carbono. Existen, sin embargo, desafíos importantes para que esta tecnología pueda ser de aplicación, principalmente relacionados con el material catalítico. La presente tesis tiene como objetivo el diseño, puesta a punto y aplicación de un sistema experimental a escala de laboratorio para la valorización electroquímica de CO2 en fase gas hacia hidrocarburos en modo continuo. De este modo, se lleva a cabo un análisis del estado del arte para la valorización de CO2 en reactores electroquímicos de membrana, se diseña y pone a punto un sistema experimental para evaluar la producción de hidrocarburos en una celda de tipo filtro prensa, se estudia la reacción empleando nanopartículas de Cu como material catalítico y diferentes condiciones de operación, se evalúa la selectividad del proceso mediante la variación del tamaño de partícula y se desarrollan materiales bimetálicos basados en Cu para mejorar el proceso electrocatalítico. The mitigation of climate change represents one of the main challenges for humankind. In this context, the electrochemical CO2 reduction to hydrocarbons represents a promising solution to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels for the synthesis of chemicals, helping to recycle CO2 at the same time. There are, however, important challenges for the applicability of this technology, which are mainly related to the catalytic material. The aim of this PhD Thesis is the design, set-up and application of an experimental system at laboratory scale for the electrochemical gas-phase CO2 valorization to hydrocarbons in continuous mode. Thus, an analysis of the state of the art on electrochemical membrane reactors for CO2 utilization is carried out. In addition, the design and set-up of an experimental system to evaluate the production of hydrocarbons in a filter-press type cell is performed. Moreover, the reaction is studied using Cu nanoparticles as catalytic material and different operating conditions. The selectivity of the process is also evaluated by varying particle size. Finally, the development of Cu-based bimetallic materials is carried out to enhance the electrocatalytic process.

Sin embargo, falta mucho para que el sol sea una fuente energética principal. Numerosos centros de investigación y empresas trabajan para mejorar la eficiencia de los paneles solares, aumentar su vida útil y producir nuevos materiales. Algunos gobiernos han apostado económicamente y han establecido marcos regulatorios para apoyar dichas innovaciones. La sociedad civil debe tener también un rol central. Tal como a menudo sentencian los movimientos activistas “la revolución energética en manos de la ciudadanía es el camino”. ‘GenerationSolar’ es una iniciativa de ciencia ciudadana, enmarcada en el proyecto europeo GRECO, con dos objetivos principales: a) empoderar a la ciudadanía mediante acciones que fomentan un conocimiento más profundo sobre la energía solar, su investigación y sus usos; y b) establecer una plataforma en la que la propia ciudadanía participe activamente en la investigación. La ciencia ciudadana representa un campo de acción a caballo entre múltiples disciplinas, si bien ha sido desde el sector de la comunicación científica, médica y ambiental desde donde ha sido más activa. Hace ya décadas que se intenta mejorar el equilibrio entre la comunicación unidireccional (el que sabe instruye al que no sabe) y las formas de comunicación más innovadoras basadas en la participación y la colaboración para la acción. GRECO unió a investigadoras, comunicadoras y ciudadanas -a través de encuestas, una hackathon online y desarrollo informático- para lanzar GenerationSolar en el Día de la Tierra 2020: un aplicativo móvil en el cual la ciudadanía registra sus instalaciones y crea una base de datos sobre la producción solar global. A dos meses del lanzamiento, la app cuenta con 71 registros y más de 22 MW de energía reportada. -- ENG -- After decades of technological advances and price reductions, solar energy can compete in the marketplace with fossil fuels in many regions of the world. However, the sun is a long way from being a main energy source. Numerous research centers and companies are working to improve the efficiency of solar panels, increase their useful life and produce new materials. Some governments have gambled economically and established regulatory frameworks to support such innovations. Civil society must also have a central role. As activist movements often state, "the energy revolution in the hands of the citizens is the way." ‘GenerationSolar’ is a citizen science initiative, framed in the European GRECO project, with two main objectives: a) to empower citizens through actions that promote a deeper understanding of solar energy, its research and its uses; and b) to establish a platform in which citizens themselves actively participate in the investigation. Citizen science represents a field of action between multiple disciplines, although it has been from the scientific, medical and environmental communication sector where it has been most active. For decades, attempts have been made to improve the balance between one-way communication (the one who knows teches the one who does not) and the most innovative forms of communication based on participation and collaboration for action. GRECO brought together researchers, communicators and citizens - through surveys, an online hackathon and computer development - to launch GenerationSolar on Earth Day 2020: a mobile application in which citizens register their facilities and create a database on global solar production. Two months after launch, the app has 71 records and more than 22 MW of reported energy.

Para logar las reducciones de contaminantes que se acuerdan en las cumbres internacionales es necesario, entre otras medidas, la reducción de emisiones en la producción de electricidad a partir de combustibles fósiles, entre ellos el carbón. La presente Tesis Doctoral propone una metodología y una serie de herramientas de toma de decisión cuyo fin es evaluar y aumentar la sostenibilidad del proceso de generación de electricidad a partir del carbón. Esta metodología está basada en programación matemática para resolver problemas de optimización multi-objetivo. Además es aplicable a un amplio rango de procesos e industrias que se enfrenten a problemas de decisión similares If the pollutant emission level continues as usual in the late years, especially those of carbon dioxide (CO2), the atmosphere concentration projections are dramatic (above 600 ppmv) with irreversible consequences to the planet. In order to achieve the binding targets of reductions agreed in the international summit meetings, it is necessary the reduction of emissions from the electricity production from fossil-fueled power plants, especially coal-fired. The objective of this work is developing a methodology and providing tools that help in the decision making process in order to evaluate and enhance the sustainability of the electricity production process form coal. This methodology is based on mathematical programming that allows solving multi-objective optimization problems. Besides, it is applicable to a wide range of processes and industries that face similar decision problems.

En este sentido, en esta tesis se han propuesto distintas topologías inversoras y rectificadoras de alta eficiencia, operando en clase E, para su uso en la transmisión eficiente de señales de comunicaciones y alimentación inalámbrica. Por un lado, se han diseñado amplificadores de potencia de alta eficiencia con tecnología GaN HEMT, empleados posteriormente en la implementación de distintos transmisores outphasing. Asimismo, se han diseñado convertidores DC/DC Clase E2, compuestos por un inversor y un rectificador síncrono a GaN HEMT, para su uso como moduladores de envolvente en arquitecturas ET/EER. Por otro lado, se han diseñado rectificadores síncronos con dispositivos E-pHEMT, con eficiencias en el estado de la técnica, enfocados hacia aplicaciones de transferencia de potencia en campo lejano y de reciclado de energía. In the RF/Microwave field, efficient wireless transmission systems are being developed in order to reduce base stations electric consumption, extend battery lifetime in handsets, as well as to remotely power up wireless devices by means of wireless powering transmission (WPT) or even energy harvesting solutions. In this sense, high efficient inverter and rectifier topologies, operating in class E, have been proposed in this thesis to be used on wireless communications and WPT. On the one hand, high-efficiency power amplifiers based on GaN HEMT technology, have been designed, which were used as a part of outphasing transmitters afterwards. In addition, using GaN HEMT amplifiers and synchronous rectifiers, Class E2 DC/DC converters have been designed, to be used as envelope modulators in ET/EER architectures. On the other hand, synchronous rectifiers with E-pHEMT technology, focused on far-field power transfer and energy harvesting applications, have been designed. State-of-the-art efficiencies have been measured in some implementations.

En el presente artículo se exploran las percepciones sociales sobre la energía nuclear en España a partir de un análisis de encuestas de opinión y de los argumentos de actores de tres estudios de caso (Vandellós I, Valdecaballeros y ATC). Los resultados muestran cómo las argumentaciones de unos y otros actores se basan en diferentes dimensiones del riesgo, a menudo ignoradas en las encuestas y por varios de los actores, lo cual supone una seria dificultad para superar las controversias suscitadas por este tipo de energía. Nuclear energy is a complex technology that requires intensive use of resources and high centralized decision-making processes, whose governance poses a real challenge for democratic societies. In this article we explore the social perceptions about nuclear energy in Spain through the analysis of opinion surveys and secondary data about the main actors of three case studies (Vandellós I, Valdecaballeros, and Radioactive Waste Storage). The results show how the arguments of the several actors are based on very different dimensions of risk, often ignored in the surveys and by the actors, which represents a serious difficulty to overcome the controversies caused by this type of energy.

En colaboración con ellos, buscamos reproducir la mecánica de un ensa- yo en un túnel de viento de un prototipo mediante una simulación. Hasta el momento no se ha realizado ninguna de forma correcta sobre el dispositivo. El problema tiene tres aspectos clave: no es estacionario, la malla debe ser dinámica y la turbulencia toma un papel fundamental. Por ello, desarro- llaremos el estudio por etapas. En primer lugar, una etapa bidimensional estática con cilindros para familiarizarnos con el programa y el fenómeno físico. En segundo lugar, una etapa bidimensional dinámica para implementar correctamente el movimien- to de la malla en OpenFOAM y entender el problema oscilatorio. Para ambas etapas se han realizado simulaciones y los resultados han sido contrastados con los disponibles en la literatura. En una tercera etapa, se ha procedido a demostrar la viabilidad del estudio del Vortex con OpenFOAM realizando para ello simulaciones tridimensionales utilizando una geometría simplifica- da del dispositivo. A diferencia de las simulaciones bidimensionales, el coste computacional de estas excede las capacidades de cálculo de un ordenador personal. A pesar de ello, se ha podido acceder a un superordenador, que ha permitido validarlas. En este trabajo nos limitaremos a números de Reynolds bajos. Para números de Reynolds elevados, es necesario emplear modelos de turbulencia. Tal estudio queda fuera del alcance de este documento y se propone como trabajo futuro. La simulación del dispositivo es totalmente funcional en régimen laminar así como el modelo para la varilla elástica utilizado. Finalmente, se proponen algunas estrategias para incorporar modelos de turbulencia necesarios para el estudio del dispositivo en regímenes de funcionamiento de interés práctico. In this work, we present a numerical simulation of the flow about Vortex, a new concept of wind turbine proposed by the Spanish start-up Vortex Bladeless, using the open source CFD software OpenFOAM. At present, the numerical simulation of this type of flow remains a challenging task: the geometry of Vortex evolves with time, the flow is unsteady, and in the flow regime of practical interest the flow is turbulent. Therefore, we face the pro- blem gradually. Firstly, numerical simulations of flow around two-dimensional cylinders are presented. We consider steady and unsteady flow around a fixed cylinder. Then, the flow around spring-mounted cylinders is investigated using the dynamic-meshes capabilities as implemented in OpenFOAM. This stage has been carried out and the results agree with those found in the literature. Secondly, three-dimensional simulations of a simplified dynamical model of Vortex are presented. Unlike two-dimensional simulations, three-dimensional computational costs exceed the personal computer calculation capabilities. However, in the final stages of the project, university’s supercomputer has been used for validate the proposed methodology. Even though the device operates in turbulent flow, we have focused on the laminar regime. The choi- ce of turbulence models deserves attention as a separate problem and is left as future work. Finally, we discuss our findings and propose future proposals. Laminar simulation of the final Vortex is fully functional as well as the springs model for the carbon fiber bar. Finally, some turbulence modeling strategies are discussed to set up in the problem with high Reynolds numbers for the interest of practical cases. Colaboración con la empresa Vortex Bladeless

En este contexto, el objetivo de este trabajo es la intensificación del proceso de absorción de CO2 convencional en dos etapas: i) Sustitución del equipamiento convencional (e.g. torres de absorción) por sistemas de membranas para una absorción no dispersiva que elimine el arrastre de gotas y, ii) Sustitución del absorbente de referencia (monoetanolamina, MEA) por líquidos iónicos, con presión de vapor despreciable, que permite eliminar las pérdidas de disolvente por volatilización. En la presente Tesis Doctoral se desarrolla un proceso con cero emisiones de disolvente mediante la integración de equipos de membranas y líquidos iónicos, como estrategia para la intensificación del proceso de captura de CO2 de post-combustión. Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS), is a technology aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas impacts from fossil fuels combustion in industrial and energy-related processes where, carbon dioxide (CO2) capture is the bottleneck step where the efforts have to be applied. In this context, the aim of this work is to intensify the absorption process by two steps: i) Substitution of conventional equipment (e.g. scrubbers) for non-dispersive absoprtion membrane systems to avoid drops dragging and, ii) Substitution of the reference absorption solvent (monoethanolamine, MEA) for ionic liquids, with negligible vapour pressure, to avoid solvent losses due to volatilization of the solvent into gas stream. Thereby, in this PhD Thesis a zero solvent emission process trough the integration of membrane systems and ionic liquids is developed as a process intensification strategy for the recovery of CO2 from post-combustion streams.

En este contexto, la electrorreducción de CO2 hacia hidrocarburos representa una solución prometedora para disminuir la dependencia de los combustibles fósiles utilizados en la síntesis de productos químicos, ayudando, al mismo tiempo, a mantener el CO2 en un ciclo neutro en carbono. Existen, sin embargo, desafíos importantes para que esta tecnología pueda ser de aplicación, principalmente relacionados con el material catalítico. La presente tesis tiene como objetivo el diseño, puesta a punto y aplicación de un sistema experimental a escala de laboratorio para la valorización electroquímica de CO2 en fase gas hacia hidrocarburos en modo continuo. De este modo, se lleva a cabo un análisis del estado del arte para la valorización de CO2 en reactores electroquímicos de membrana, se diseña y pone a punto un sistema experimental para evaluar la producción de hidrocarburos en una celda de tipo filtro prensa, se estudia la reacción empleando nanopartículas de Cu como material catalítico y diferentes condiciones de operación, se evalúa la selectividad del proceso mediante la variación del tamaño de partícula y se desarrollan materiales bimetálicos basados en Cu para mejorar el proceso electrocatalítico. The mitigation of climate change represents one of the main challenges for humankind. In this context, the electrochemical CO2 reduction to hydrocarbons represents a promising solution to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels for the synthesis of chemicals, helping to recycle CO2 at the same time. There are, however, important challenges for the applicability of this technology, which are mainly related to the catalytic material. The aim of this PhD Thesis is the design, set-up and application of an experimental system at laboratory scale for the electrochemical gas-phase CO2 valorization to hydrocarbons in continuous mode. Thus, an analysis of the state of the art on electrochemical membrane reactors for CO2 utilization is carried out. In addition, the design and set-up of an experimental system to evaluate the production of hydrocarbons in a filter-press type cell is performed. Moreover, the reaction is studied using Cu nanoparticles as catalytic material and different operating conditions. The selectivity of the process is also evaluated by varying particle size. Finally, the development of Cu-based bimetallic materials is carried out to enhance the electrocatalytic process.
