In this project, CNT-supported catalysts for hydrogenolysis are developed and optimised. First, the multifunctional carbon nanotube-supported catalyst is optimized with respect to its activity by incorporating additional transition metals. The application and fabrication of CNT forests on glass will be investigated and adjusted in parallel. Subsequently, this synthesis method is applied to 3D-printed metal surfaces, which serve as support material for the catalyst. The resulting catalyst will then be subjected to in-depth reaction engineering studies. Continuous characterization of the obtained products will be carried out during the whole project.
