Abstract:

We describe a multi-disciplinary, fundamental study of the design of a class of catalytic materials that utilize sunlight to: 1) enable delivery of fuels (hydrogen) and fuel feedstocks (methane, methanol) to the Navy using water and carbon dioxide as starting materials; or 2) efficiently degrade toxic contaminants, including organophosphorus compounds. Solar-driven photocatalytic water splitting and reduction of carbon dioxide are two of the highest payoff pathways to carbon-neutral fuels. Additionally, adding sunlight-driven photocatalytic activity to adsorptive and degradative materials can enhance decontamination capacity.
