Approach 1: Direct electrochemical conversion with renewable power

14 May, 2019 | Approach 1

The direct electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 with Earth-abundant metals is a promising option that at present is at the lab research stage for both high-temperature (solid-oxide) and low-temperature (water electrolyte and PEM) devices. The application of this...

Approach 2: Direct conversion via integrated artificial photosynthetic systems

14 May, 2019 | Approach 2

Direct solar conversion, often referred to as artificial photosynthesis, mimics this process in dual band gap nanostructures, combining knowledge of biological, molecular, and materials sciences. SUNRISE pursues an ambitious vision of artificial photosynthesis...

Approach 3: Direct conversion via biological and biohybrid systems

14 May, 2019 | Approach 3

This approach is an unconventional methodology for photochemical conversion of atmospheric CO2 with high yields. Two different types of systems are considered in SUNRISE – biological and biohybrid– which both involve living microorganisms and are capable of direct...
