点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project will develop innovative catalysts for the reduction of CO2 into carbon fuels via cost effective computational design. The approach aims at engineering catalytic surface and interface to modulate the coordination environment around catalytic active copper atom. The expected outcomes will be high performance catalyst materials that can significantly boost the conversion of CO2 into valuable fuels. The new knowledge achieved in this project will dramatically advance the development of sustainable carbon cycle, providing solutions to the global energy supply and environmental issues. The smarter energy and environmental technologies will potentially result in the enhancements to the quality of the everyday lives of Australian.
