Electrochemical methods hold promise as a green route in fuels and feedstocks production and CO2 mitigation. However, current systems suffer from low energy conversion efficiency mainly due to a high applied potential -impeding their commercialization. In this program, an efficient electrochemical system will be developed which, for the first time, combines CO2 reduction with biomass-wastes oxidation to lower the applied potential and improve the energy efficiency at an industrially relevant high current density. This program integrates computational and spectroscopic methods with materials synthesis and engineering to advance in key performance metrics and bring renewable energy production and conversion closer to commercial viability.

电化学方法有望成为燃料和原料生产以及二氧化碳减排的绿色途径。然而，目前的系统存在能量转换效率低的问题，这主要是由于应用潜力大，阻碍了它们的商业化。在该项目中，将开发一种高效的电化学系统，该系统首次将二氧化碳减排与生物质废物氧化相结合，以降低应用电位，并在工业相关的高电流密度下提高能效。该计划将计算和光谱方法与材料合成和工程相结合，以提高关键性能指标，并使可再生能源生产和转换更接近商业可行性。
