This project aims to develop single-component and hybrid transition-metal and metal-free electrocatalysts with controllable nanostructures to efficiently and selectively catalyse carbon dioxide reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions for clean fuels production including hydrogen and low-carbon organic molecules. By combining experimental and theoretical modelling, this project plans to reveal the origins, mechanism and pathway of these reactions, and the effect of catalyst composition and morphology on their performance. The resulting nanostructured catalysts are of great importance for feasible clean fuel generation and carbon dioxide reduction.

该项目旨在开发具有可控纳米结构的单组分和混合过渡金属和无金属电催化剂，以有效和选择性地催化二氧化碳还原和析氢反应，用于清洁燃料生产，包括氢气和低碳有机分子。通过结合实验和理论建模，该项目计划揭示这些反应的起源，机制和途径，以及催化剂组成和形态对其性能的影响。所得的纳米结构催化剂对于可行的清洁燃料产生和二氧化碳减少具有重要意义。
