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.

该项目旨在通过开发革命性的电催化工艺来可持续和高效地生产甲醇和乙二醇，该工艺使用可再生能源作为能源输入，水作为氧化剂，二氧化碳衍生的中间体作为原料。成果包括复杂界面电催化和具有商业相关性能的反应目标催化剂的先进知识，通过理论计算，原子级材料设计，原位光谱测试和界面工程的结合实现。这将大大有利于可再生能源的使用，商品化学品制造，以及减少碳足迹，使澳大利亚和世界实现碳中和和可持续发展。
