Excellent Master, Diploma, and PhD Students from all over the world from different disciplines are invited to participate in the international summer university ISUenergy2015. The ISUenergy2015 will take place from Aug. 23rd - Sept. 4th 2015 in Falera/Switzerland.
The interdisciplinary summer university focuses on solar energy under a multitude of perspectives: from the physics of photovoltaics and solar thermal energy to solar architecture and electromobility, smart grids and the economic and political aspects of renewable energy use. These topics will be treated in lectures, evening talks, practical workshops, and group projects.
This summer university is internationally established since 2009 and provides a unique setting for students to enrich their knowledge on energy topics. Splendid network opportunities among the students and with the lecturers will be offered.

Hydrogen storage in MXene: It all depends on diffusion processes
Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as MXene are of great interest for hydrogen storage. An expert from HZB has investigated the diffusion of hydrogen in MXene using density functional theory. This modelling provides valuable insights into the key diffusion mechanisms and hydrogen's interaction with Ti₃C₂ MXene, offering a solid foundation for further experimental research.
