Control of Photocatalytic Processes within Soft Matter Matrices (C06)

• Subject Area: Technical Chemistry
• Term: since 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 364549901

C06 will develop an automated experimental platform to enable high-throughput study and online analysis of light-driven catalysis. Statistical design-of-experiment reaction planning will be combined with automated data acquisition, evaluation, and database storage. Through systematic evaluation of large parameter spaces with special focus on dynamically changing irradiation conditions, reaction conditions for high activity and long lifetime will be assessed. The comprehensively characterized modular photoreactor platform developed in the first funding period will be extended to enable comparability between different catalytic tests and a scaled-up demonstration reactor will be developed.
