Studentship Networks

This network targets the reduction of CO2 directly by the development and implementation of a device capable of converting CO2 to useful products.  The primary aim of the project is to convert CO2 to value added products using a simple cost effective device.  The outcomes will be a research and training environment of international quality; a device that will translate applied research for the benefit of the UK economy; promote innovation in low carbon technologies; and enhance the standing of Yorkshire’s research institutions.  This network is also related to the CLCF and includes the University of Hull as a partner.  The network includes the following projects

Design of photovoltaic components for a solar electrochemical cell for the reduction of CO2

Correlating electronic, electrochemical, and functional properties of highly-textured       semiconductor-catalyst material

Anchored electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction

New macroporous materials for photocatalytic and photonic applications
