Tailoring multifunctional single site catalysts for carbon dioxide conversion

该项目旨在开发多功能单位催化剂和协作表面位来完成二氧化碳(CO2)加氢制高碳醇的多步骤反应，以提高大链醇的选择性。二氧化碳是一种丰富的、可再生的碳源，可用作原料，以能源高效的方式结束碳循环有可能产生显著的环境效益。该项目有望促进对新型二氧化碳转化催化剂的合理设计和对催化剂结构-性能诱导反应机理的理解。这将有助于更好地理解以二氧化碳为原料的反应动力学。

This project aims to develop multifunctional single site catalysts and collaborative surface sites to complete multi-step reactions using carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogenation to higher alcohols with enhanced selectivity for large-chain alcohols. CO2 is an abundant and renewable carbon source for use as a feedstock, and closing the carbon cycle in an energy efficient manner has the potential for significant environmental benefits. The project is expected to advance the knowledge in rational design of new catalysts for CO2 conversion and understanding the catalyst structure-property induced reaction mechanism. This will result in an improved understanding of the reaction kinetics of utilising CO2 as a feedstock.
