New Heterogeneous Catalyst Materials for Hydrogenation of CO2 to Formic Acid: Metallophthalocyanine-Based 2D- and 3D Covalent Organic Frameworks

Project description

A sustainable approach to formic acid production

Converting CO2 emissions into valuable chemicals and materials is a promising approach to protecting the environment. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the CO2COFs project will develop heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation into formic acid. Covalent organic frameworks based on metallophthalocyanines will be synthesised, giving access to highly crystalline materials with defined porous structures and periodically placed metal binding sites. Success in the project will result in new heterogeneous catalysts that will highly benefit companies active in catalysis and the energy field.
