A new Solar Hub entitled the Center for Hybrid Approaches in Solar Energy to Liquid Fuels (CHASE) has been created to advance fundamental research on the production of liquid fuels from sunlight, water, nitrogen, and/or carbon dioxide. The Hub will undertake the construction and mechanistic study of hybrid photoelectrodes based on molecular catalysts integrated within solid state semiconductors in tailored microenvironments in order to achieve liquid solar fuel production. CHASE is centered at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with partner institutions at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Emory University, North Carolina State University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.
