Funded Activity Summary

Unravelling the nanostructure of atmospheric black carbon. Black carbon is the second most important greenhouse forcing agent after carbon dioxide. The global atmospheric effect of black carbon predicted by current climate models is thought to be underestimated by at least 50 per cent, primarily due to uncertainties over the nature of black carbon and the absence of benchmarks. This project aims to use a computational chemistry approach to develop an atomistic model for black carbon. Using these models, the project will determine the relationship between nanostructure and properties such as optical absorption and melting point.
