YIP+: Bifunctional homogeneous catalytic CO2 hydrogenation

The anthropogenic atmospheric CO2 levels must be reduced and managed to secure a future sustainable society. The two main solutions are to store or chemically transform CO2. Our project is based on the latter with the advantage of turning otherwise undesirable waste material into industrially useful chemical commodities. We use chemical design on a molecular level to develop CO2-transforming catalysts with unprecedented potency. The grant will fund two postdocs.
