Description

Sustainable Electrosynthesis of Urea and Formamide. Urea and formamide are vital in modern agriculture, chemical industries, and pharmaceuticals, yet their current industrial production is unsustainable due to high energy and environmental costs. This project aims to design high-efficiency catalysts for electrochemical urea and formamide synthesis through theoretical simulations. The primary objective is to gain new insights into electrocatalysis by systematically exploring reaction mechanisms. Anticipated outcomes will develop optimal catalysts with high conversion efficiency and establish universal theoretical principles. This research will, in the long term, lead to increased production of crops and medicines, reduced costs in chemical industries, and improved environmental protection.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4016 - Materials Engineering. Lead: Dr Junxian Liu
