Funded Activity Summary

Production of C1/C2 Commodity-Chemicals via Efficient Electrocatalysis. This project aims at sustainable and efficient production of methanol and ethylene glycol via development of revolutionary electrocatalytic processes that use renewables as energy input, water as oxidising agent and carbon dioxide-derived intermediates as feedstock. Outcomes include advanced knowledge of complex interface electrocatalysis and reaction-targeted catalysts with commercially relevant performance, achieved by combination of theoretical computations, atomic-level material design, in-situ spectroscopy tests and interfacial engineering. It will significantly benefit renewable energy use, commodity-chemicals manufacturing, together with carbon-footprint reduction to make Australia and the world carbon-neutral and sustainable.
