| Objective on the basis of need | Reduction of CO2 to value added products using heaper homogeneous metal catalysts |
| Executive summary of the proposed project (In 250 words) | The quest for advanced catalytic systems using precious metals has prompted the scientific community to explore earth-abundant transition metals as feasible substitutes. Among these, iron (Fe) is highlighted as the most versatile and sustainable option due to its abundance, low toxicity, and relevance in biological systems. The role of Fe in catalysis has evolved over the last decade, shifting from stoichiometric to catalytic use, with ongoing development. Fe-based catalysts are a significant research focus, offering the potential for sustainable and eco-friendly industrial applications. |
