Electrocatalysis under confinement: CO2 reduction with COF catalysts (A03)

该项目旨在了解，建模和控制限制效应的电催化CO2还原反应（CO2RR）在原子级精确的孔隙共价有机框架（COFs）。我们将COF设计，先进的电化学和理论建模集成在一个紧密的反馈回路，以达到约束下的CO2RR反应性的基本理解。要研究的限制效应包括（i）CO2捕获和过溶解度在介孔，（ii）增加CO2RR与HER的选择性通过控制局部pH值，传质和电化学双层，和（iii）选择性增强多碳（C2+）产品的串联催化。

This project aims to understand, model and control confinement effects on the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) in the atomically precise pores of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). We will integrate COF design, advanced electrochemistry and theoretical modelling in a tight feedback loop to arrive at a fundamental understanding of CO2RR reactivity under confinement. Confinement effects to be studied include (i) CO2 capture and oversolubility in mesopores, (ii) increase of CO2RR vs. HER selectivity via control of the local pH, mass transport and electrochemical double layer, and (iii) selectivity enhancement for multicarbon (C2+) products by tandem catalysis.
