The research group of Prof. Urakawa has developed and reported heterogeneously catalysed processes for the conversion of carbon dioxide into methanol at high pressure. Methanol is one of the major chemical commodities and can be used as a fuel blending agent or as raw material in the manufacture of polymers (MTO process) or other commodities […]

Polyacenes constitute a class of organic compounds composed by adjacent fused benzene rings. These compounds exhibit interesting electronic properties due to their high degree of conjugation which allows electrons to flow across the molecule. The high charge carrier mobility of these materials is used frequently in organic field-effect transistors and optoelectronic applications. Most commonly used […]

Humankind has entered uncharted territory: atmospheric CO2 levels soared to record-breaking 415ppm for the first time in human history. The need to find a sustainable alternative to CO2-producing fuels is in dire need. One of the most promising environmentally-friendly energetic sources is hydrogen generated via water splitting – the reaction in which water is broken […]
