The resulting efficiency, which describes the efficiency of the solar-driven conversion process \u2014 the solar-to-carbon efficiency (STC) \u2014 is potentially significantly higher than in natural photosynthesis. The selection of efficient storage, makes it, in principle, possible to reduce the land and water consumption required for CDR by orders of magnitude as compared to bio-based methods, thereby mitigating potential land-use conflicts, which is why artificial photosynthesis represents a promising alternative. The project focuses on the development and improvement of electrocatalytic processes for the production of carbon flakes and oxalate. These are chemical products that have already been identified as efficient carbon sinks. While the currently used GaInSn-Ce-based liquid metal catalyst is already yielding promising results in the production of carbon flakes, a lead-free catalyst for the production of oxalate is to be developed. For both approaches, the underlying electrochemical processes are to be analyzed and fully understood, for which a combination of experimental methods and atomistic simulations will be used. The resulting insights will allow us to identify improved catalysts and process parameters to increase the efficiency of the conversion processes. Based on the optimized electrochemical process, the development of a fully functional prototype is planned, which can then be evaluated under realistic operating conditions. Each stage of development will be accompanied by an ongoing assessment of the process\u2019s sustainability and the influence of \u2014 and on \u2014 climatic conditions.<br \/>\nIn the overall approach, the CO<sub>2<\/sub> uptake will be realized by a process similar to direct air capture. However, the CO<sub>2<\/sub> is then stored in the form of solid carbon (similar to biochar) or organic minerals, with both forms allowing for safe storage in flexible manner and also near the surface.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>is developing a (photo)-electrochemical conversion of CO2 into stable storage products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":7763,"template":"","class_list":["post-7761","consortia","type-consortia","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
