Complexes for electro-and photocatalytic proton reduction

Chemistry

PhD defence ceremony

The direct conversion of sunlight into fuels is a promising strategy to satisfy mankind’s demand for energy in a sustainable way. One way to do this is the light-driven water splitting reaction, which consists of two half reactions: water oxidation and proton reduction. Systems capable of performing these two half reactions photocatalytically are intensively studied. Bart van den Bosch deals with the development of systems capable of photo- and/or electrocatalytic proton reduction.
