The challenge - CATART Project

Fundamental questions we want to answer

Which features (e. g. band-gap, CB/VB ratio, crystallinity) define a promising photocatalyst (for CO₂ reduction or H₂O splitting)?

Which are key synthesis parameters / steps for tuning the above-mentioned features?

Are all these parameters / steps reproducible in synthesis-robots? Among these, which ones can be very difficult or even impossible to reproduce?

What catalytic experimental evidence or outputs (as from kinetics or spectroscopy) are needed for proper DFT modelling?

Overcoming scientific bottlenecks to revolutionize the field of chemicals production.
