Electrocatalysis Lab

Fossil fuels are a finite resource; moreover, their consumption releases CO2 into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Only when we learn how to capture and utilize CO2 from the atmosphere can we return to greenhouse gas equilibrium. In addition, CO2 is a versatile feed-stock for energy manufacturing, as it can be transformed into a variety of energy-dense carbon-based products.

In our research group we unite experimental and theoretical scientists to address the issues of energy consumption and CO2 conversion via a single unified goal that has been widely acknowledged as an international research priority:

The efficient and cost-effective conversion of renewable energy into stored chemical energy.
