Project description
Third-cycle subject: Theoretical Chemistry & Biology
A global system without dependence on fossil sources for energy and materials requires new methods for the production of chemicals. In a larger project with partners from KTH and Stockholm University, a completely new type of composite material develops where simple and accessible reagents, such as water and carbon dioxide, are used to build complex molecules with high value. The composite material consists of an electrocatalyst and a synthesis catalyst, where the first converts water into hydrogen or carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, while the other uses the hydrogen or carbon dioxide to build advanced structures. In this project we will develop new computational methods for simulations of the electrocatalysts. Specifically, methods will be developed that will allow for studying molecular catalysts bound to surfaces. The project will be conducted in collaboration between Mårten Ahlquist's group at Theoretical Chemistry and Biology and Licheng Sun's Group at Organic Chemistry.
