Project summary description:
This project aims to develop two-dimensional oxide supported single-atom catalysts for sustainable fuel generation from water and CO₂ using combined theoretical and experimental investigations. The outcomes of this project will offer atomic and electronic level principles in designing high-performance catalysts and provide novel approaches on green fuel generations for emerging energy technologies. Success of this project will meet the knowledge gap between advanced materials and practical sustainable energy technologies.
