In this laboratory, studies are carried out on the synthesis and development of catalytic materials that can produce conventional fuel -for example, biodiesel- from renewable energy sources such as microalgae.

For this purpose, different kinds of microalgae are grown and the performances of the catalysts produced after oil extraction in biodiesel production are tested.

In addition to these, hydrogen energy and application studies are also carried out. For example, the development of catalytic materials with high hydrogen selectivity and activity from different renewable fuels, such as bioethanol, is being studied.
In addition, the development and application of electrocatalysts for the production of renewable hydrogen from water using PEM electrolyzer and solar panels are also studied. For this, there is a 50 W 5-cell PEM electrolyzer produced in this laboratory. By using this PEM electrolyzer and solar panels, hydrogen production performance was tested in different weather conditions for 6 months at IYTE campus. Studies on these issues continue.
