We are pleased to inform you that our RISE members Dr Molly LI as PI and Professor Shu Ping LAU Daniel as Co-I will collaborate with Johnson Matthey (JM) and different international universities, i.e. Fudan University, Xiamen University, and Oxford University, to work together on scientific research focused on how CO2 can be used in green bulk chemicals production. In addition, a sizable amount of funding is provided for the research of Dr Li and Professor Lau, focusing on surface science and characterisation facilities.
Formic Acid is a small platform chemical that can be produced in great quantity by the electrochemical reaction of CO2 and H2 that link to recycled carbon, renewable H2 and energy. In this project, Johnson Matthey Pacific Limited will partner with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University to explore new research directions in Formic Acid and Green Chemistry. This collaboration aims to provide a new level of innovation, focus and ambition to confront the critical scientific challenge in energy and green catalytic synthesis to deliver sustainable chemicals.
