Project objective
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) represents a promising technique for sustainable utilization of renewableenergy like wind and solar energy to produce value-added valuable chemical feedstocks or fuels, providing an alternativeway to the climate and energy issues in European Union (EU). Unfortunately, the progress in this area has been slow as aresult of the sluggish CO2 reaction kinetics and the lack of efficient electrocatalysts. This research proposal aims to gobeyond the state-of-art in this area through rationally designing and engineering novel metal phosphonate organic-inorganichybrid electrocatalysts to illustrate a new methodology for the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction. The intractable low selectivity/efficiency of electrocatalytic CO2 reduction will be overcome through rationally adjusting the organic/inorganic compositions,porosity, and nano-/mesostructures of functional metal phosphonates to realize impressive performance. The nature andorigin of the CO2 reduction process will be investigated in this project, aiming at illustrating the relationship of chemicalcompositions and structures towards electrochemical performance and thus providing new protocols to design CO2RRelectrocatalysts. The successful completion of this project is suggested to advance CO2 conversion technologies, ensure theviability of EU's resources, and benefit its clean energy/manufacturing industry.
