RADICAL
Rational design and operanto investigation of atomically dispersed catalysts for electrochemical peroxide production.
About the project
The purpose of RADICAL is to develop atomically dispersed metal electrocatalysts (ADMCs) for electrochemical hydrogen peroxide production by O2 reduction. It is a vital reaction for decarbonizing the H2O2 production industry, which currently generates over 20 million tons of greenhouse gases and 55 million tons of chemical waste per year.
In this project, we propose to synthesize self-supported ADMCs with uniform and high-density active sites with well-defined structures through a sequential synthesis process.
From the well-defined active sites, we will gain a clear understanding of structure-performance relationship of the the active site in these nextgeneration H2O2 catalysts.
To achieve the RADICAL objectives, we will deeply integrate experimental and computational studies and carry out operando synthesis and testing to elucidate the synthesis mechanism of active sites, their catalytic operation, and the dynamic changes under working conditions leading to their degradation.
