Formaldehyde Polymerization on (WO3)3/TiO2(110) Model Catalyst
The research project focuses on formaldehyde polymerization on tungsten trioxide (WO3) trimers supported by titanium dioxide (TiO2) (110) surfaces using contemporary spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The catalytic activity and processes will be investigated by examining the kinetics of formaldehyde polymerization in aqueous environments with UV and NMR spectroscopy. This research increases our understanding of carbon fixation and polymer synthesis from ambient CO2, which will assist in the development of efficient catalysts. The findings have the potential to reduce carbon emissions, global warming, and create new materials for the construction and connect industries, with far-reaching implications for materials science and sustainability.
