Congratulations to PhD students Cornelius Obasanjo and Guorui Gao, from Dr. Cao Thang Dinh’s research group (Refuel@Queen’s) on their innovation on electrochemical carbon dioxide conversion to hydrocarbon fuels and chemicals which has been recognized as a finalist in the Falling Walls Science Breakthrough of the Year 2023 in the category of Engineering and Technology.
Their application is mainly based on their work, High-rate and selective conversion of CO2 from aqueous solutions to hydrocarbons, which was published earlier this year in Nature Communications.
The Falling Walls Science Summit 2023 will bring together the brightest minds in science, politics, business and the media November 7-9 in Berlin to explore the forefront of scientific breakthroughs and emerging trends that shape our world. As a global platform for scientific exchange, this annual event serves as a catalyst for innovation, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, and promoting breakthrough thinking.
On the anniversary day of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Falling Walls Breakthrough Day sets the stage for outstanding research through inspiring presentations. Among them are the Falling Walls Science Breakthrough of the Year laureates, carefully selected by our esteemed jury members and advisory boards from over 1,000 nominations.
