UC Santa Barbara team develops catalytic molten metals for direct conversion of methane to hydrogen without forming CO2

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of California Santa Barbara have developed catalytic molten metals to pyrolize methane to release hydrogen and to form solid carbon. The insoluble carbon floats to the surface of the melt, where it can be removed and stored or incorporated into composite materials. Metallic catalysts (e.g.,
