The project PLANTAGE (Plasmonic Nanostructures in a Periodic Array for Photocatalytic Applications) focuses on a periodic semiconductor device used in the technological form of photosynthesis. It will be used in photocatalytic and photoelectronic cells, for example to produce green hydrogen or to split carbon dioxide and convert it into renewable energy sources.

The project is funded withn the NRW Patent Validation’ program of the Ministery for Economy, Industry, Energy and Climate Protection (MKIWE) of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, with co-funding from the European Union
