Activation electrocatalytique du CO2

Coordination : Carine Michel
Post-doc : Stephan Steinmann

Electrocatalysis offers an attractive means to activate CO2 through reduction. Despite recent progress in modelling electrocatalytic reactions, many methodological questions are still open and under­standing at an atomic level is scarce. However, theoretical studies provide detailed insight under very well controlled conditions and thus complement the experimental effort towards the rational design of electrocatalysts.

• Utilisation des ressources logistiques et informatiques (salle de réunion, salle des terminaux, etc.)
• First principles, atomistic computer simulation require high-performance computing infrastructures, such as the one of the PSMN/ENS de Lyon. We are thus very grateful for the computational resources provided by the PSMN.
