Project description
Creating custom catalysts for cheap methanol
Switching away from fossil fuels will help reduce climate change, and cheaper methanol can be a part of that drive. Yet, existing methods to turn CO2 into methanol, which can be used as a fuel or chemical feedstock, are inefficient. The EU-funded TUNEMOF project aims to overcome this by developing metallolinker functionalised metal-organic frameworks that use abundant iron and manganese. Low-cost metal based catalyst centres will promote metal-ligand cooperation, and the secondary linkers will prevent the deactivation of the catalysts. TUNEMOF will integrate organometallic chemistry, applied chemistry of porous materials and catalytic testing of homogeneous systems. A placement at Haldor Topsøe will also provide spectroscopic analysis and techno-economic assessment.
