RESEARCH PROJECTS
With the help of the funding from the excellence cluster competition, numerous future-oriented research projects are being implemented in the Forum Organic Electronics cluster, which will have a decisive impact on the progress of development of new technologies.
Project selection:
SOLAR2FUEL CO2-REDUCTION
The aim of this joint project is to work on a new kind of technology for the chemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuel or useful chemical products with the help of sunlight. This can help to achieve sustainable use of resources and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. In this, the focus is on the production of methanol, a climate-neutral fuel in combustion motors or fuel cells. It is not just the technological approach which is innovative using specially functionalized semiconductor nano particles as catalysts but also the goal of using industrial exhaust gas flows as a possible source of useful products.
Project partners:
