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.
