By utilizing solar en-ergy, fuels such as hydrogen, C1+ compounds (e.g., methane, methanol), or C2+ compounds (e.g., ethanol) can be produced through photocatalytic or photoelectrochemical processes. They offer a renewable alternative to fossil fuels and contribute to reducing carbon emis-sions and achieving energy independence.\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/p><p><strong>Master Thesis<\/strong><br \/>The master&#8217;s thesis will be integrated into national and international projects on the topic of &#8220;solar reactors for solar fuel production&#8221;.
