Project description
Computational electrochemistry for the sustainable valorization of biomass
Biomass from waste and residues has the potential to be a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, which are the building blocks for fuels and chemicals production. Electrochemical conversion routes are advantageous since they allow for the storage of intermittent renewable electricity. This project will establish and apply design principles for efficient and low cost catalysts for the electrochemical valorization of biomass. The grant will fund 3 PhD students, 2 postdocs, and computing.
