Scientific Abstract

Project B01 focuses on the design and synthesis of functionalised and task-specific ILs, with the aim (i) to tailor support/IL interfaces and (ii) to develop electrocatalytically active interface-enhanced SILPs. The latter concept will combine catalytic functionalities operating at both the gas/IL and the IL/solid interfaces for the electrochemical production of hydrogen from water (or protons) and the hydrogenation of divers C=C and C=O moieties in selected substrates. These two processes shall be controlled by the incorporation of identical task-specific structural motifs in the IL and in the active transition metal catalyst. The long-term objective will be the direct electrocatalytic hydrogenation of substrates in a ‘tandem-like’ system.
