DESCRIPTION:Prof. Peter Strasser\, Chemical Engineering Division\, Technic
 al University Berlin\nIn this talk\, I will highlight some of our recent a
 dvances in the field of direct electrochemical reduction of CO2 into value
 ‐added fuels and chemicals on metallic Cu‐based catalysts and nonmetal
 lic carbon‐based MNC electrocatalysts with molecularly‐defined coordin
 ative MNx metal‐nitrogen centers as active sites. Special focus will be 
 placed on efficient production of CO at lab‐scale and industrial current
  densities with emphasis on a fundamental understanding of between selecti
 vity and the nature of the MNx moiety. Furthermore\, the design of hybrid 
 electrocatalysts consisting of CO‐efficient MNC backbones decorated with
 \nCuOx nanoparticles will be addressed and the molecular mechanisms of the
 ir enhanced ethylene production discussed.\n\nBio: Peter Strasser is a Pro
 fessor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering and the Head of the Electroch
 emical Catalysis\, Energy\, and Materials Science Laboratory at the Techni
 cal University of Berlin. His research interests include the fundamental a
 spects between heterogeneous catalysis and electrocatalysis\, and the elec
 trochemical aspects of energy storage\, energy conversion\, and solar fuel
  production devices. In 2018\, he received the Sir William Grove Award for
  his achievements and leadership in electrochemistry by the International 
 Association of Hydrogen Energy.
