Engineering hybrid photocatalytic systems for sustainable fuel generation

工程混合光催化系统可持续燃料发电。该项目旨在开发下一代混合光（共）催化剂和气体光电极系统，该系统将有效利用太阳能，使用多尺度方法将二氧化碳转化为可持续燃料：设计异质结构材料系统;阐明表面反应机制，并设计耦合光/热催化和独特的气体光电化学系统。该项目旨在为太阳能作为一种环境友好的化学燃料的经济转换和储存提供基本的新知识，并为利用二氧化碳作为原料的光催化和热催化以及光电化学反应创造当代材料系统和反应器。

Engineering hybrid photocatalytic systems for sustainable fuel generation. The project aims to develop next generation hybrid photo-(co)catalyst and gaseous photoelectrode systems that will effectively harness solar energy to transform carbon dioxide into sustainable fuels using a multi-scale approach: designing hetero-structured material systems; elucidating surface reaction mechanisms, and engineering coupled photo/thermal-catalytic and unique gaseous photoelectrochemical systems. This project aims to yield fundamental new knowledge for the economical conversion and storage of solar energy as an environmentally benign chemical fuel, as well as create contemporary material systems and reactors for photo- and thermal-catalysis and photoelectrochemical reactions that utilise carbon dioxide as a feedstock.
