Lecture
This lecture introduces the EPFL Open Science Workshop on Solar Fuels Standards and Benchmarking, emphasizing the principles of open science data management and the creation of the Solar Fuels Database. The workshop covers topics such as findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of data and workflows. It includes discussions on measurement protocols, community engagement, and benchmarking approaches for solar-to-hydrogen efficiency. The importance of a unified resource for solar energy to fuel research is highlighted, along with the challenges and considerations in the field. Various experts and researchers contribute to the workshop, sharing insights on experimental setups, device classifications, degradation pathways, and the significance of steady-state conditions in solar fuel research.
