In this talk, I will trace my group's history in using molecular dynamics simulations to investigate conceptual links among molecular architectures, intermolecular interactions, and network structures and how they determine thermomechanical properties of polymerized materials that these applications demand.
In this talk, using CO2 reduction to gas and liquid products and O2 reduction to hydrogen peroxide as representative reactions, I will introduce the rational design of both catalytic materials and reactors towards practical electrochemical manufacturing of fuels and chemicals.
Our group focuses on the design and synthesis of new organic semiconductors based on low-cost and/or easily prepared starting materials.
This presentation will highlight the impact of solvation, ionic interactions, surface adsorption, and hydrogen bonding and transfer on interfacial structure, redox reactions, and catalytic mechanisms in particular for CO2 electroreduction.
Due to our increasing awareness of the impact of climate change on our society, unit operations in our manufacturing processes, including those in chemical industry, have to be greenified and made less dependent of fossil resources.
