Rising levels of CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere has attracted considerable interest in technologies capable of CO2 capture, storage and conversion. One promising route for CO2 reduction can be through the electrochemical reduction of CO2 using homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts to produce value added chemicals The method mimics the photosynthesis process occurring in plants.  Rahman Daiyan, one of our PhD student who recently been shortlisted as NSW semi-finalist in the 2017 FameLab - one of the biggest science communication competition's in the world organised by the British Council. He shared his passion and research on this artificial photosynthesis for CO2 reduction in an interview conducted by Tim Brunero, an ABC radio broadcaster.
