Tandem Photocatalytic Conversion of CO2 to High Value Hydrocarbon Products

将二氧化碳（CO2）转化为碳氢化合物产品是对抗人为排放的理想选择，同时减少了我们对化石燃料的依赖。尽管有显著的优势，但二氧化碳的价值稳定受到高能源需求和低价值产品（甲烷和一氧化碳）等障碍的阻碍。该项目将建立一种可持续的二氧化碳价格稳定方法，使用独特的串联太阳能驱动的分层催化剂阵列来抵消能源需求，并从捕获的二氧化碳中直接生产高价值的碳氢化合物产品，如乙烷（C2H6）和乙醇（CH3CH2OH）。

Converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into hydrocarbon products is ideal for combating anthropogenic emissions whilst reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Despite the significant advantages, CO2 valorisation is hindered by barriers such as high energy requirements and low-value products (methane and carbon monoxide). This project will establish a sustainable approach to CO2 valorisation using a unique tandem solar-driven hierarchical catalyst array to offset energy requirements and directly yield high-value hydrocarbon products, such as ethane (C2H6) and ethanol (CH3CH2OH), from captured CO2.
