Catalysts for controlled cascade reactions: It is difficult to convert carbon dioxide or nitrogen oxides into useful or harmless substances.
Professor Wolfgang Schuhmann intends to produce useful platform chemicals from harmful gases on an industrial scale using innovative catalytic cascade reactions. The Chair of Analytical Chemistry at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) has received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) for this project. The funding totals 2.5 million euros for five years.
