The project aims at discovering cheap and efficient functional electrode materials, i.e., electrocatalysts, capable to accelerate the conversion of bio-derived compounds and CO2 to valuable chemicals. Planar and nanostructured materials as well as immobilized molecular catalysts will be investigated as electrodes for the oxidation and reduction of model organic compounds (e.g., furfural-based, dicarboxylic acids) derived from biomass. The project will effectively couple advanced materials synthesis procedures with physico-chemical, analytical and electrochemical characterizations. The overall goal is to maximize the yield of the desired products and to elucidate the descriptors that govern the reactions.

该项目旨在发现廉价高效的功能电极材料，即，电催化剂，能够加速生物衍生化合物和二氧化碳转化为有价值的化学品。平面和纳米结构材料以及固定化分子催化剂将被研究作为模型有机化合物（例如，糠醛基二羧酸）。该项目将有效地将先进的材料合成程序与物理化学，分析和电化学表征相结合。总体目标是最大限度地提高所需产物的产率，并阐明控制反应的描述符。
