Black carbon is the second most important greenhouse forcing agent after carbon dioxide. The global atmospheric effect of black carbon predicted by current climate models is thought to be underestimated by at least 50 per cent, primarily due to uncertainties over the nature of black carbon and the absence of benchmarks. This project aims to use a computational chemistry approach to develop an atomistic model for black carbon. Using these models, the project will determine the relationship between nanostructure and properties such as optical absorption and melting point.

黑碳是仅次于二氧化碳的第二大温室效应因子。据认为，目前气候模型预测的黑碳对全球大气的影响至少被低估了50%，这主要是由于黑碳性质的不确定性和缺乏基准。这个项目的目的是使用计算化学的方法来开发一个黑碳的原子模型。利用这些模型，该项目将确定纳米结构与光学吸收和熔点等性质之间的关系。
