Project “Fine-tuning of electrocatalyst/electrolyte interface for efficient reduction of CO2 and N2 towards added-value chemicals”

Project type: Basic Research.

Research goal: The objective of this project is to adapt electrocatalysts, electrolytes and interfaces, to allow the electrocatalytic reduction of products from CO2 to C2 + and from N2 to NH3, including their combination to obtain urea.

Partnership and financing: Shell Brasil.
