Photocatalytic reduction at dislocations
The direct use of light to synthesize high energy chemicals is important for efficient energy storage. However, no appropriate solution, e.g., to catalytic H₂O₂ production and CO₂ reduction could be established. The currently achieved products on lab scale are mostly one-carbon (C₁) compounds. Direct conversion into multi-carbon (C₂+) compounds, especially liquid products, which are easily stored and separated from the educts, is one of the major goals.

Optionale Headline
Using methods to control dislocation type and density in metal oxide ceramic material, the functional properties of these compounds can be significantly modified. Multiple ceramics with high dislocation density can promote photocatalysis of H₂O₂ production and even CO₂ reduction. Not only is the expected yield of the products higher by multiple factors. The CO₂ reduction results preferentially in liquid C₂+ products. These can be better stored and separated and are hence more interesting for industrial applications.
