Abstract

Artificial photosynthesis, the solar-driven conversion of feedstock components including water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen into fuels, chemicals and materials, has the potential to generate products needed by society using renewable resources. In this talk we will describe a new research program established in October 2020 that is focused on accelerating the science advances needed to enable sunlight to synthesize the complex molecules that comprise liquid fuels. This ambitious goal is being addressed by tailoring the properties of coupled chemical microenvironments to enable sequential catalytic transformations, and using co-design as a new paradigm to design systems that have the durability, selectivity and efficiency required for operation under real-world conditions. Examples of progress by the team will be presented.
