Electrocatalysis (Pillar A)

Challenges

  • Conversion of H2O and COwith high energy efficiency
  • Selective formation of fuels and value-added chemicals: H2, hydrocarbons, alcohols, …
  • Long-term catalyst stability

Approach

  • Study catalysts in operation (operando/in situ) by spectros-, microscopy, diffraction
  • New cross-disciplinary experimental approaches
  • Strong interaction with computational modeling
