Bart Limburg

Dr. Bart Limburg is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) in Tarragona, Spain, supported by the PROBIST postdoctoral fellowship from the la Caixa Foundation. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Leiden and specializes in developing innovative photocatalytic systems for molecular conversion, with primary focus on carbon dioxide utilization.

His research centers on sustainable chemical processes that address climate change through renewable energy integration:

• Photocatalysis: Designing light-driven catalytic systems for energy-efficient chemical transformations
• CO2 Valorization: Converting carbon dioxide into valuable chemical feedstocks and fuels
• Sustainable Catalysis: Developing earth-abundant catalysts for environmentally benign reactions
• Molecular Engineering: Tailoring molecular structures for enhanced photocatalytic efficiency
• Renewable Feedstocks: Transforming small molecules into renewable energy carriers

As a PROBIST fellow, Dr. Limburg leverages ICIQ's state-of-the-art facilities including the Photophysics Spectroscopy Laboratory and Chemical Reaction Technologies platform. His work contributes to ICIQ's strategic initiatives in sustainable chemistry and renewable energy, with potential applications in carbon capture and solar fuel production. Current research focuses on optimizing photocatalytic mechanisms for industrial-scale CO2 conversion while maintaining academic collaborations across European research networks.
