Surface Organometallic Chemistry
The surface organometallic chemistry unifies the benefits of homogeneous and heterogenous catalysis. The most common approach is immobilization of molecular complexes on support. The advantages offered by immobilization are ease of separation and recyclability can be privilege for a chemical reaction. These integrated systems will be made in a way that can be applied to reactions which are difficult to achieve otherwise e.g., conversion of renewable raw materials CO2, CO, H2, N2 into value added chemicals and biomass valorization among others through thermal or photochemical activations.
Photocatalysis
Extreme climatic changes, emission of greenhouse gases and dependence on fossil fuels are crisis which need our attention to develop a sustainable technology. The one of the ways to foster such issues is conversion of CO2 to value added products using renewable sources of energy e.g., solar light.
