SunCoChem projectwill provide a solution based on a competitive tandem photoelectrocatalytic reactor to efficiently produce oxo-products from solar energy and CO2 emissions from the European Chemical Industries. This will be achieved by process intensification coupling a solar-driven carbon dioxide reduction to CO/water oxidation to O2 with CC bond carbonylation reaction catalysed by novel multifunctional hybrid photoelectrocatalysts.
The project will deliver materials with improved catalytic performance from cheap and earth–abundant raw building block with application in the solar-driven chemistry to produce chemicals by using renewable energy (sunlight) and renewable carbon sources (CO2).
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 862192.
