Projectdetails

Introduction

Mimicking the chemical production of nature is a well-pursued dream in the scientific community. Scientific progress is limited by the lack of efficient synergies among complex functions and by a much smaller research library than nature.

Project Overview

CATART will explore new synergies in reaction robots that mimic nature in a much faster way. This will be achieved using H2O and CO2 as model substrates.

Proposed Systems

We propose systems containing:

  1. 3-D quantum dot networks with the ability to simultaneously harvest sunlight by luminescence.
  2. Photo-catalyze substrates.
  3. Separate products.

These phenomena will be managed by artificial intelligence, leading to reaction robots that autonomously learn and instantly maximize productivity.

Impact

The envisioned system will revolutionize the way chemicals are produced. The combination of expertise in:

  • Photonics
  • Machine learning
  • Catalysis
  • Organic chemistry
  • Engineering

from 5 academic institutions, 1 research center, 1 SME, and 1 industrial partner will enable a successful pathway into feasible reaction robots.

Conclusion

CATART will contribute to a game-changing chemical technology, placing EU industry and society in a privileged situation to face future economic and environmental constraints.
