Scientific Abstract

Project B03 will develop silica-based support materials with tailored porosity and surface properties to explore the catalytic potential of interface-enhanced SILPs. We will control the wettability and film formation of the ILs on the solid support via surface functionalisation and the introduction of hierarchical porosity. These tailored supports will maximise the IL wettability and film stability while ensuring efficient mass transport by preventing pore flooding, also under reaction conditions. We will take advantage of the homogeneous IL films with controlled thickness and tailored surface functionality to control the catalyst position relative to the gas/liquid and liquid/solid interface to elucidate differences in activity and fundamentally understand SILP performance.
