Objective

With the global production of ammonia playing a pivotal role in food and chemical industries, the nitrogen cycle is essential for sustaining modern life. However, the challenging nitrogen redox chemistry demand innovative solutions for sustainability. HARVEST aims to advance our understanding of the ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) by designing molecular catalysts for efficient NH3 splitting. With only incipient progress made in AOR molecular catalysis, HARVEST will systematically target new iron and manganese catalysts for the AOR. These will be integrated into dye-sensitized (photo)electrochemical cells (DSPEC) for solar conversion. Thus, HARVEST not only promises to advance our knowledge on nitrogen chemistry, but also holds potential for carbon-neutral fuel production and energy storage.
For the postdoctoral candidate, HARVEST marks a critical phase in career development. With prior multidisciplinary experience, the focus now shifts to building a solid profile in molecular electrochemistry and photoelectrocatalysis. HARVEST includes a flexible training program, targeting teaching, management, and supervision roles, vital for future research leadership positions.
Overall, this research not only will advance sustainable technology but will also nurture a versatile and skilled researcher ready to contribute significantly to both academia and industry research units.
