Combining the principles of solid-state chemistry and coordination chemistry, Dr Benedict Lo of the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology has developed an approach that allows for the highly precise and tuneable design of heterogeneous catalytic processes. This pioneering approach helps to optimise the scope and reactivity of catalysts, thereby ushering in the next generation of high-performance, high-efficiency catalytic technologies. Dr Lo also hopes to develop a high-performing electrocatalytic system for converting CO2 to ethylene, ultimately creating “a sustainable ethylene economy powered through decarbonisation”.
