SARI researchers propose novel method to enhance electrocatalytic conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

CHEN Wei and WEI Wei from the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a novel method that enables efficient CO 2 electroreduction to CO by virtue of low-coordination chloride ion adsorption on a silver hollow fiber (Ag HF) electrode. A research team led by Profs. and Sun, Y. doi: 10.1002/anie.202210432.

New phase of globalization could undermine efforts to reduce CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications.

New photocatalytic system converts carbon dioxide to valuable fuel more efficiently than natural photosynthesis

Green Car Congress

Resources Yu, J., 2023) “Artificial spherical chromatophore nanomicelles for selective CO2 reduction in water.” It mimics the structure of a purple bacteria’s light-harvesting chromatophores (i.e. cells that contain pigment), which are very efficient at transferring energy from the sun.

Study: countries seeking to cut CO2 emissions must get a handle on city-level emissions

Green Car Congress

Total CO 2 emissions of 182 Chinese cities. The data used in the study was gathered by a team of researchers working on the Chinese Emissions Accounts and Datasets program ( CEADS ). Shan et al. The research was funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

PBL/JRC: Global CO2 emissions increase to new all-time record in 2013, but growth is slowing down

Green Car Congress

Global CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production reached a new all-time high in 2013, according to the annual report “Trends in global CO2 emissions”, released by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the European Joint Research Centre (JRC). In 2013, the Chinese per capita CO 2 level of 7.4

China team develops efficient multifunctional catalyst for conversion of CO2 to gasoline-range hydrocarbons

Green Car Congress

This work was financially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the Hundred-Talent Program of DICP, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The gasoline-range isoparaffins and aromatics are selectively formed and finally diffuse out of zeolite pores.
