}}'''Center for Hybrid Approaches in Solar Energy to Liquid Fuels (CHASE)''' is a DOE Energy Innovation Hub led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, focused on pioneering artificial photosynthesis by combining light-absorbing semiconductors with molecular catalysts to convert sunlight, water, and CO2 into liquid fuels like methanol or ethanol. Launched in July 2020 as part of the Fuels from Sunlight program, CHASE builds on the legacy of the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP), uniting over 35 investigators across six institutions to tackle efficiency, selectivity, and scalability challenges in solar fuel production. | }}'''Center for Hybrid Approaches in Solar Energy to Liquid Fuels (CHASE)''' is a DOE Energy Innovation Hub led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, focused on pioneering artificial photosynthesis by combining light-absorbing semiconductors with molecular catalysts to convert sunlight, water, and CO2 into liquid fuels like methanol or ethanol. | ||

CHASE’s mission is to revolutionize solar fuels by developing hybrid photoelectrodes that merge semiconductor light absorption with molecular catalysis, aiming for selective, efficient conversion of sunlight into storable liquid fuels while blending experimental and theoretical approaches to uncover new design principles. It seeks to advance DOE’s clean energy goals by creating scalable systems that reduce reliance on fossil fuels, leveraging advanced spectroscopy and computational modeling to understand and optimize photochemical processes at the molecular level. | CHASE’s mission is to revolutionize solar fuels by developing hybrid photoelectrodes that merge semiconductor light absorption with molecular catalysis, aiming for selective, efficient conversion of sunlight into storable liquid fuels while blending experimental and theoretical approaches to uncover new design principles.
