项目摘要

The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project lies in the electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to valuable fuels. This technology plays a role in the carbon capture and utilization process that has the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Production of carbon neutral fuels and chemicals from CO2 using renewable electricity is a commercially viable pathway to offset the carbon footprint. The proposed efficient solution supports profitable production of carbon neutral fuels and chemicals. When scaled, this technology may impact a wide spectrum of areas that currently depend on fuels and chemicals produced using traditional methods ranging from aviation fuels to pharmaceuticals.This I-Corps project focuses on carbon utilization and production of clean fuels and chemicals to help mitigate climate change. The proposed method employs electrochemical conversion of CO2 using renewable electricity and water, generation of synthesis gas (syngas), and further conversion of syngas in the Fischer-Tropsch process to produce a wide variety of chemicals. This technology represents a new class of catalysts with high energy efficiency and selectivity.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个I-Corps项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力在于将二氧化碳（CO2）电化学转化为有价值的燃料。这项技术在碳捕获和利用过程中发挥作用，有可能大幅减少二氧化碳排放。使用可再生电力从二氧化碳中生产碳中性燃料和化学品是抵消碳足迹的商业可行途径。所提出的高效解决方案支持碳中性燃料和化学品的盈利生产。当规模扩大时，这项技术可能会影响目前依赖于使用传统方法生产的燃料和化学品的广泛领域，从航空燃料到药品。这个I-Corps项目侧重于碳利用和清洁燃料和化学品的生产，以帮助缓解气候变化。所提出的方法采用使用可再生电力和水的CO2的电化学转化、合成气（syngas）的产生以及合成气在费托工艺中的进一步转化以产生各种各样的化学品。该技术代表了一种具有高能效和高选择性的新型催化剂。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
