Quantum Mechanics Identifies Link Between CO2 Recycling Catalysts and Bimolecular Enzymes
Researchers at PQI have identified a promising design principle for renewable energy catalysts. Utilizing advanced computational modeling, researchers found that chemicals commonly found in laboratories may play a similar role as biological catalysts that nature uses for efficient energy storage.
The article, "Thermodynamic Descriptors for Molecules That Catalyze Efficient CO Electroreductions" published in the journal ACS Catalysis, was authored by PQI faculty John A. Keith, PhD, and Aude Marjolin, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow.
