The ecological challenges currently facing humanity threaten not only individual growth projections, but also their ability to survive in the foreseeable future. Such alarming prospect has been stimulating a noticeable movement within the academic circles towards favouring more sustainable-oriented research projects, which usually translates into attempts to deeper the understanding and, …
Safeguarding Brazilian society's increasing demand for energy and meeting the target for CO2 emissions reduction mandates investments in renewable energy sources and low carbon technologies. Toward tackling such a challenge, the United Kingdom has a mature and extensive research infrastructure via the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Research Hub. Fuel cells are increasingly important electrochemic…

The escalation of the negative effects associated with the global warming has been stimulating the search for active ways to remove billions of tons of carbon from the atmosphere which, otherwise, will not be absorbed by Earth's natural cycles within the human time scale. Among the main approaches to such aim there is the use of the desalinization plants infrastructure to induce an enhanc…
Due to the necessity of reducing CO2 emissions, the development of new methods of energy storage and generation became essencial. In this scenario, the use of small organic molecules in the interconversion between chemical and electric energy has attracted great interest. Among these molecules, isopropanol has attracted special atention. Due to the -OH group position in secondary alcohols…
The oxidation of molecules derived from biomass has been used both directly in fuel cells and for the production of clean hydrogen. These processes represent an important alternative for replacing internal combustion engines based on fossil fuels. Despite decades of studies, the interconversion of chemical energy into electrical energy (an object of electrochemistry, and particularly of e…
The anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are not balanced by the bio-cycles, leading to this gas accumulation and, consequently, affecting climate change. The use of biomass as a fuel helps to minimize this matter since the generated CO2 is equivalent to the amount of CO2 fixed during the vegetable life cycle. However, a large portion of the energy that can be generated by the con…
The electro-oxidation reactions of small organic molecules are studied under different catalysts and by means of techniques so that one can know the reaction mechanisms and the reaction intermediates. These reactions have some characteristics in common in their reaction mechanisms that are responsible for making the electro-oxidation processes susceptible to dynamic instabilities. The glu…
Among the various proposals to replace the current energy matrix based on fossil fuels, with renewable and sustainable sources, there are the so-called fuel cells, devices that directly convert chemical energy into electricity. Although hydrogen is one of the most viable substances for use in fuel cells, its production and storage are still a challenge. Other alternatives extensively stud…

In the investigation of the origin of living systems, the alkaline hydrothermal vents (AHVs) are proposed as one of the most promising scenario to hatchery life on prebiotic Earth. The so-called AHV theory has proposed an energy-transfer mechanism, based on the chemiosmotic theory, as requisite processes of the first steps of emergence of life. Therefore, submarine environments of AHVs on…
Renewable energy technologies such as fuel cells, water splitting, and metal-air batteries are the promising means of the increasing global need of energy, offering clean and sustainable energy resources. But, these technologies need catalysts to accelerate the rate of energy conversion reactions. In this regard, the key to success is the development of robust, low cost, and earth-abundan…
The development of efficient and reliable energy conversion devices depends on the design of more active and highly stable catalysts. Given that the current control over catalytic activity is more advanced than our understanding of the stability of surface atoms, it is paramount to establish functional links between activity/stability to enable synthesis of new materials with tailored pro…
