This program will focus on development of electrocatalysts for the renewables-powered chemical conversion of greenhouse gases to fuels and feedstocks. This will provide avenues to the storage of intermittent renewable electricity and the net reduction of carbon dioxide emissions. We will develop high-efficiency nanomaterials through a combination of materials modeling, synthesis, and characterization. Together, these research thrusts will enable rational design of selective and active electrocatalysts. Research results will be disseminated to academics through journals and CIFAR, to industry through new and existing partnerships, and to policy makers through consultation for initiatives such as Mission Innovation.

该计划将重点开发电催化剂，用于可再生能源驱动的温室气体转化为燃料和原料的化学转化。这将提供储存间歇性可再生电力和净减少二氧化碳排放的途径。我们将通过材料建模、合成和表征相结合的方式开发高效纳米材料。总而言之，这些研究进展将使选择性和活性电催化剂的合理设计成为可能。研究成果将通过期刊和CIFAR向学术界传播，通过新的和现有的合作伙伴关系向业界传播，并通过就使命创新等倡议进行磋商向政策制定者传播。
