Dry processing of CO2RR electrodes with catalyst surface organic functionalization for a designed control of Faradic efficiency towards ethylene
EF 2024-25
Résumé
One of today's challenge in the fight against climate change is linked to CO2 emission. If CO2 could be used as a resource and no longer only be a pollutant, pathways toward carbon neutrality could be envisioned. This project focuses on the CO2 electroconversion into usefull chemicals. Using green electrons, the CO2 can be reduced into base chemical blocks. Though, in order for this route to be successful, CO2 conversion need to be driven by economics. This can only be achieved if manufacturing process and chemical selectivity are increased and optimized. The project aims at achieving both. Scheduled for two years, there are two main objectives towards next generation CO2RR electrode for ethylene production. The first will tend to integrate dry processing approach into electrode manufacturing. The second will focus on catalyst surface functionalization toward enhanced selectivity and efficiency. Both aspects will then be combined integrating new design opportunities.
