Sommario/riassunto

Melanie Weichselbaumer presents the synthesis of the monomers as well as the electropolymerization on Pt-electrodes. The electrolysis experiments were carried out for 40 hours and the products were analysed by gas chromatography and ionic chromatography. Pyridine-functionalized and Rheniumbipyridine-functionalized Polythiophenes can be used as heterogeneous catalysts for CO2 reduction. Contents Carbon Dioxide: A Greenhouse Gas Carbon Capture and Storage Setup for Electropolymerization/Electrolysis Chemical Synthesis of Pyridine-functionalized and Rheniumbipyridine-functionalized Thiophenes Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of greenhouse gas, global warming, CO2-reduction, electrochemistry and chemical synthesis Practitioners in these areas The Author Melanie Weichselbaumer obtained her Master’s Degree under the supervision of o.Univ. Prof. Mag. Dr. DDr. h.c. N. S. Sariciftci at University of Linz, Austria.
