Funded Activity Summary

Nanowire photoelectrodes for carbon dioxide conversion. Returning carbon dioxide (CO2) to a useful state is a significant and challenging problem which requires appropriate devices and energy input. By utilising sunlight as a promising and green energy input, the conversion of CO2 into liquid fuel would positively impact the global carbon balance. This project aims to prepare abundant, non-toxic and sufficiently active photoelectrodes with one dimensional nanostructure, then develop appropriate and robust photoelectrochemical devices to convert CO2 into liquid fuels. This project aims to help reduce the atmospheric CO2 concentrations and explore a new energy source.
