This project aims to uncover important chemical knowledge regarding small molecule activation by reactive metal species that are site-isolated and stabilised within the pores of metal-organic frameworks. These insights will lead to the development of new materials that are able to activate small molecules, such as carbon dioxide and methane, and facilitate their conversion to commodity chemicals and fuels. Uncovering energy-efficient strategies for valorising abundant small molecules is a key challenge for future energy sustainability. The outcomes of this project will inform the design of the next-generation catalysts for conversion of methane to methanol, a potential fuel, and facilitate the transition to a clean energy future.

这个项目旨在揭示关于活性金属物种激活小分子的重要化学知识，这些活性金属物种是现场隔离的，并稳定在金属-有机骨架的孔隙中。这些洞察力将导致新材料的开发，这些材料能够激活二氧化碳和甲烷等小分子，并促进它们转化为商品化学品和燃料。发现能源效率高的战略来评估丰富的小分子是未来能源可持续性的关键挑战。该项目的成果将为甲烷转化为潜在燃料甲醇的下一代催化剂的设计提供参考，并促进向未来清洁能源的过渡。
