Накратко на български

Наночастици без благородни метали се изследват за превръщане на въглеродния диоксид в зелени горива чрез слънчева светлина. Това помага за намаляване на зависимостта от изкопаемите горива и критичните суровини, като подпомага борбата с климатичните промени.

Solar driven CO2 reduction and alcohol oxidation without sacrificial reagent.

This MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship, SOLAR-CAT ID:101064765, aimed to develop nanoparticles for CO2 (or H+) reduction coupled with alcohol oxidation using sunlight as the primary energy source. The project sought to develop efficient, noble-metal-free dye-sensitized photocatalysts (DSPs) that can drive sustainable chemical transformations, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and contributing to carbon neutrality. The urgency of the global transition to renewable energy sources, combined with the need for low-cost, scalable, and efficient photocatalysts, served as the driving context behind SOLAR-CAT. The project aimed to enhance the sustainability of industrial processes by providing a viable solution for producing green fuels and valuable chemicals directly from sunlight. SOLAR-CAT contributes to the broader EU goals of decarbonization, climate change mitigation, and energy independence, supporting the European Green Deal and the Horizon Europe agenda. The pathway to impact includes developing systems that could be adapted for large-scale deployment in the energy, chemical, and environmental sectors. By focusing on DSPs, the project aligns with EU efforts to reduce dependency on critical raw materials such as platinum and palladium, promoting materials security. The results are expected to impact energy production and environmental sustainability on a global scale.

Цел на проекта

Fossil fuels are our primary energy sources; however, their combustion causes climate change due to the production of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). A key solution to climate change is the direct solar-powered production of fuels from CO2. SOLAR-CAT links the conversion of CO2 into high value chemicals with the oxidation of biomass derivatives. This project aims to develop photocatalytic systems that will operate in aqueous media without any sacrificial reagent utilizing only earth abundant chemicals. The developed dye-sensitized photocatalytic systems (DSPs) will contain cobalt complexes of quaterpyridine and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidine N-oxyl (TEMPO) derivatives as catalysts for CO2 reduction and biomass oxidation, respectively.During the first part of the fellowship, under the supervision of Dr. Fabrice Odobel (Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, CNRS), the fellow will be trained in alcohol oxidation, photo-induced electron transfer, and the development of dye-sensitized systems. During his secondment at University of Paris (UP), he will be trained by Prof. Marc Roberts research group in electrochemistry, CO2 catalysis and surface chemistry. The fellows experience in photocatalysis, molecular synthesis, and DSP development will provide a unique opportunity for the host group to apply their knowledge in DSPs to simultaneous photo-induced CO2 reduction and alcohol oxidation. SOLAR-CAT is a highly inter- and multi-disciplinary project as it brings together the fields of molecular synthesis, catalysis, material sciences, electro- and photo-chemistry, and analytical chemistry. This project will enable the transition of the fellow from recognized researcher (R2) to an established researcher (R3) reaching his career goal (tenure track position in academia), throughout the scientific and personal training actions, the development of his transferable skills, the coordination and the management of the project.
