A single chamber reactor without mediator and a two-chamber reactor with mediator will be designed and reported.

This report will describe the specifications on MOF-based materials suitable for CO₂RR (together with Cu-based catalysts), taking into account their foreseen catalytic performances, their stability and their synthesis.

This deliverable will clarify the OER related specifications, including the applied operation conditions and the required production rates. The catalyst should bind methanol much weaker than water, show a nice stability, be used in minimum amount, be affordable, contain no toxic elements, and be sustainable.

Test parameters (CO₂ concentration, contaminants, light source, flow rate of reactant gas, duration of the test) shall be defined. Other parameters (size of device, amount of catalyst loading) will also be specified. The analysis protocol for liquid products and oxygen (from anode) will also be established.

This report aims to describe the synthesis protocols and the complete characterisation of a series of MOF-Cu and CQDs-MOF-Cu.

This report will refine the following characteristics for OER: all carbon nitride samples to be optimised will have CN as the optical transducers/ antenna, a metal ion within the pores to support exciton splitting, and a surface decoration to control substrate binding and repellence. The finer details as specific surface area, relative amounts and thickness, as well as doping for optical coverage of the solar spectrum are to be determined by experiments.

This report details the photocatalytic performance of the materials studied, including product analysis and efforts to achieve methanol selectivity.

The report will describing the preparation, characterisation and photocatalytic activity of the Z-scheme heterojunction with a mediator.

This deliverable will provide an in-depth analysis of the interface formed between the best CO₂RR MOF/OER g-CN composite in terms of microstructures and charge transfer.

This report will describe the photoreactors, operation conditions and scale up of the best photocatalytic systems.

A list of common criteria for sustainability in terms of environment, market, society, which will be used for the choice of the industrial site locations.

A list of five potential locations for demonstration sites in the EU and China, including data for the background utilities per each specific location.

A list of main sources causing environmental damages as well as the way(s) for improvement(s).

A report on the calculation of the production cost of methanol under possible scenarios in specific industrial locations.

A survey on the public acceptance of the new technology and a report on calculation of the total reduction in oil and gas import.
