Expertise in the direct conversion of carbon dioxide into high value liquid products, which is important for combating climate changes and energy efficiency challenges

Body Text

Competitive advantage

  • The electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) can be carried out at ambient conditions by applying an external bias
  • Possibility to couple with electricity generated from renewable energy resources to close the carbon loop
  • Simple, scalable and cost-effective catalysts for CO2RR in the gas phase to deliver liquid products

Impact

  • Alleviate global warming by direct conversion of CO2 into high value liquid products
  • Creation of a sustainable cycle of carbon-based fuel that will promote zero net CO2 emissions

Successful applications

  • Mesoporous tin oxide (SnO2) electrocatalyst for large scale conversion of CO2 to formate with high selectivity and current density

Capabilities and facilities

  • Access to expertise and state-of-the-art facilities for electrocatalyst fabrication, characterisation and testing of performance
  • Expertise in the direct conversion of carbon dioxide into high value liquid products, which is important for combating climate changes and energy efficiency challenges.
