Bringing the electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to formic acid towards an industrial feasibility by unraveling the fundamental role of the supporting material (BECO2ME). University of Antwerp
Lowering the atmospheric CO2 concentrations and reducing anthropogenic CO2 emissions is one of the greatest scientific challenges faced by the current generation. A possible strategy is to use H2O and CO2 as renewable feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals. Simultaneously, excess electricity, generated by renewable energy sources, can be utilized to drive these reactions. In this PhD project, CO2 will be electrochemically converted ...
