SubsidieMeestersAccelerating the discovery of high-performance electrocatalysts through artificial intelligence and robotics technology
Dunia is transforming electrocatalyst discovery using AI and robotics to accelerate the process by 90% and reduce costs by 60-70%, enabling carbon-neutral production from captured CO2.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Catalysts are fundamental for almost all industry products as they accelerate and control the selectivity of chemical reactions. As such, they play a crucial role in mitigating the climate crisis to transition away from fossil fuels by utilizing CO2 in electrochemical reactions to synthesize carbon neutral end products.
Current Challenges
However, catalyst innovation is lacking. It takes about 20 years to discover a new catalyst with multi-million euros in R&D expenses.
Innovative Solution
To enable a carbon neutral industry in the near future, Dunia is revolutionizing electrocatalyst discovery with its autonomous, artificial-intelligence- and robotic-driven laboratory.
Key Benefits
This breakthrough technology significantly accelerates the discovery process, offering the following advantages:
- Reduces timeframes by up to 90%
- Cuts costs by at least 60-70% compared to conventional methods
- Builds the largest and most reliable database for future electrocatalyst research
Impact
As a result, Dunia is able to find high-performance catalysts that can utilize captured CO2 in the production of value-added chemicals and green fuels.
