IU team creates efficient nanographene-Re electro- and photo-catalyst for efficient reduction of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Indiana University Bloomington have synthesized a nanographene–Re (Rhenium) complex that functions as an efficient electrocatalyst and photocatalyst for the selective reduction of CO 2 to CO for subsequent conversion to fuels. The complex can selectively electrocatalyze CO 2 reduction to CO in tetrahydrofuran at −0.48
