Exploring Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction to Fuels with Small Molecular Iron Clusters

Abstract: 

This project will advance the chemistry of CO2 to fuels conversion using small iron clusters by a collaboration to combine fuels production directly with the harvesting of energy from light. Thus we create a sunlight-to-liquid fuels system for storage of renewable energy. Expertise in iron catalyst development at UC Davis complements expertise in photochemistry at University of Paris-Diderot.
