Research capabilities

Electrocatalysis

Electrocatalysis uses electric current to drive electrochemical reactions on electrodes. A catalyst helps electron transfer between reactants and electrodes, boosting desired reactions.

Photocatalysis

At PartCat, our engineered photocatalytic processes and materials efficiently produce hydrogen and reform organic molecules like furfuryl alcohol into valuable products, like precursors for jet fuel.

Photo-electrocatalysis

Using photovoltaic technology, we refine semiconductor interfaces, regulate catalytic sites, and optimise photoelectrochemical systems. This enables us to grasp reaction mechanisms and showcase innovative photoelectrochemical systems.

Techno-economic analysis and environmental analysis

Techno-economic feasibility studies are thorough evaluations that assess whether a project or technology is both technically feasible and economically viable.
