Thermionic energy converters are heat engines that convert heat directly to electricity at very high temperatures. A basic thermionic converter consists of two electrodes separated by a vacuum or a vapor. In 1915, Schlichter published an investigation into the use of thermionic emission for converting heat into electricity.

The reaction for carbon dioxide splitting into carbon monoxide with aromatic aldehydes as oxygen acceptors. The resulting CO can be used to convert water to hydrogen via the water gas shift reaction. Carbon dioxide, however, is highly stable, and splitting the O=C(O) bond to generate carbon monoxide requires large energy input.
