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.
