Furfural and Hydrogen Production from Biomass: Integrating Chemical and Electrochemical Routes

OVERVIEW

The goal of this project is to leverage electrochemical and thermocatalytic processes to convert biomass into furfural, hydrogen, and other high-value chemicals.

Advantages

• Mild operating conditions

• Modular production

• Conversion of waste to high-value products

 
We are interested in the investigation of the mechanism of the reactions, integrating different types of biomass, engineering advanced electrocatalysts, and designing hybrid electro/thermal reactors.
