Development of New Composite/Functionalized Cathodes for Bio-Electrochemical Conversion of CO2 to CH4
FY 2020-21 · 2020-04-22
Summary
The project will focus on the characterization of pathways leading to CH4 production from CO2 and improvement of the kinetics of the conversion reaction by modifying (functionalizing) carbon-based cathodes with (i) nanostructured non-noble metal electrocatalysts, and (ii) with organic functional groups.
