Electrochemical routes for carbon dioxide capture, reduction and use in electrosynthesis

这一研究项目将结合化学和电化学方法，研究二氧化碳的捕获及其转化为具有工业意义的小分子(例如燃料和商品化学品)的情况。此外，该项目还将探索通过电合成将这些小分子电化学转化为更高价值的物种。因此，该研究项目是高度跨学科的，涉及有机化学、电化学、材料和工程学，并有可能对更可持续的化学生产途径产生重大影响。

This research project will examine the capture of carbon dioxide and its conversion to small molecules of industrial importance (e.g. fuels and commodity chemicals) by a combination of chemical and electrochemical approaches. Furthermore, the project will also explore the electrochemical conversion of these small molecules to species of higher value via electrosynthesis. The research project is thus highly interdisciplinary, at the interface of organic chemistry, electrochemistry, materials and engineering, and with the potential to have a major impact on more sustainable routes to chemical production.
