Breu explicació del projecte / Brief explanation of your project
The climate change has raised concerns about closing the carbon cycle by converting CO2 and renewable electricity to chemically stored energy in the form of fuels and commodity chemicals. Among these, long-chain hydrocarbons and alcohols are more attractive because of their high energy density and value. Thus, this project aims to obtain the first generation of CO2 electroreduction catalyst with useful efficiency towards C3+ products by employing computational simulations based on Density Functional Theory and augmented by Machine Learning techniques.
