Driven by the global aspiration to achieve a CO2-neutral society, the conversion of CO2 to higher energy carriers has recently grown into a significant research field. To achieve a sustainable process, the sunlight driven nanoparticle enabled photocatalysis reaction has shown promising results. Nanoparticle (NP) catalyst is an important ingredient: it is an efficient light absorber and varying its size and load directly affects the chemical reaction rate.
The aim is to study the photothermal effect of nanoparticle catalyst and quantify various contributing factors. Various light sources including LEDs and laser will be studied as the light source for the light driven chemical process. The induced photothermal effect in the nanoparticle catalyst bed will be characterized using fiber optic sensor arrays. You will learn to use those optical devices for systematic measurement and testing. Data processing is necessary to convert optical measurement to physical parameters. The photothermal conversion efficiency of lighting sources will be compared.You will be part of a diverse team consisting of engineers and scientists helping to create impactful innovations.
