About the project
The goal of the project is to develop effective and selective catalysts via a combination of theoretical calculations, material synthesis and electrocatalytic design and testing. We aim specially at fabricating and characterising nanomaterials for the electrocatalytic oxidation of glycerol, which is a biproduct of the production of biodiesel, to valuable chemicals and hydrogen as well as through the oxidation of hydrocarbons from black liquors originating at paper mills to hydrogen. The project is being carried out in collaboration with a group of reseearchers from KTH and Stockholm University (SU) and Swedish industry. A large part of the experiments will be carried out at synchrotron facilities around the world, especially in Lund and Hamburg.
Financing
The project is financed by the Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) within the programme “Materials for energy applications”. 2018-2022
