Project R-11800

Title

SYN-CAT: SYNergetic design of CATalytic materials for integrated photo- and electrochemical CO2 conversion processes (Research)

Abstract

The objective of the project is to combine photo- and electrochemistry into a photo-electrocatalytic approach to convert CO2 into methanol. The approach herein lies on developing more active and stable photo-electrocatalytic materials compared to the state-of-the-art and to improve productivity of the photo-electrochemical reactor, targeting an energy efficiency of 30% with an outlook for further upscaling.
