Grant Activity:
Composite oxides as next-generation photocatalysts for solar energy capture
Purpose:
This project aims to prepare new photocatalysts that capture and convert solar energy to stored energy by directly splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen, a perfectly clean and renewable fuel. The project will use a "bottom-up" nanoscale approach, in which compounds with different chemical and electronic properties, but with compatible crystal structures in at least one dimension, are assembled in a single synthetic step to form a well-ordered composite. By making composites of compounds the band gaps - crucial to capturing light - and surfaces -crucial to evolving hydrogen and oxygen gas- of which complement each other, the project can deliver higher performing materials at a lower cost than can be achieved by conventional top-down modification. The project will deliver new and improved photocatalysts that will hasten progress towards commercially viable systems, helping to establish a new technology and putting pressure on competing technologies such as photovoltaics and wind to drive the renewables sector forward.
