Photoelectrochemical conversion of CO2 to methanol.
Return Photoelectrochemical conversion of CO2 to methanol. 01/03/2021 – 28/02/2025 Researcher: MSc. Michele Del Moro The increasing anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases into the Earth’s atmosphere has caused a deterioration of natural phenomena over the past few years. CO2 is the main component causing this global effect, called climate change. For tackling this effect, new solutions, such as carbon capture…
Studying the effect of up-scaling CO2-electrolyzers to industrial scale
By the combination of green, renewable energy and electrocatalysts (Cu, Sb, …) it is possible to electrochemically convert CO2 to usable chemicals and fuels, like carbon monoxide (CO), formic acid (HCOOH), etc. In which up-scaling is of paramount importance for the industry.
Reactor design optimizations for electrochemical CO2 reduction
The objective of my PhD within ELCAT is to further develop the electrochemical reactor design for CO2 reduction towards higher technology readiness levels. More research is needed to optimize design parameters such as channel dimensions besides ensuring long term stability.
CO2 reduction from amine solutions
The goal of this PhD is to develop a capture and utilization process where CO2 is directly converted from the amine capture solution to valuable products, simultaneously to the amine recycling.
CO2 to Ethylene in a combined research project
This project is a collaboration between EMAT of the University of Antwerp, QSP of the KU Leuven, research center VITO, and ELCAT, funded by VLAIO and CATALISTI. The aim of this project is to convert CO2 to ethylene using electrochemistry. This will give more insight into other pathways for carbon capture and utilisation applications. We look forward to dive into…

Catalysis for CCU: valorisation of CO and CO2 through carbon capture and use.
In light of the climate challenges by which humankind is currently faced, CO2 capture and conversion has emerged as one of the best ways to proceed and curb the ever-increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere.
Reactive Amine Scrubbing for CO2 Conversion.
The project aims at developing innovative continuous flow technologies with as prospective industrial implementation. Flow technology is especially useful for continuous processes and can be implemented at different levels going from efficient and economic screening of process conditions to process intensification.
Flow technology as solution for up-scaling and increasing efficiency of chemical processes.
