Overview of the CoCaWS Project
The CoCaWS project, titled "Confined Catalysis in Layered Materials – A Transformational Approach for Efficient Water Splitting," is funded by the EU under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions program. It aimed at developing innovative catalysts to enhance hydrogen production via water splitting. Over the past two years, the project investigated two-dimensional (2D) layered nanomaterials and employed confined catalysis, where reactions occur in nanoscale environments within van der Waals (vdW) gaps. This approach allowed precise confinement of a small amount of ruthenium, within the vdW gaps of MnPSe3 nanosheets, enabling efficient hydrogen and oxygen generation. 
The project has also served as a booster for seeding the research on hydrogen production at the Nano4GEA lab at the Department of Molecular Sciences and Nanosystems, and the outcomes have been one of the pillars to build up the proposal for the UNESCO Chair on Technologies and Materials for Green and Energy Applications recently established at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and the Luleå University of Technology (Sweden).
