Photo-activated catalyst converts CO2 to CO for clean fuel technology; no unwanted byproducts

Green Car Congress

An international research team led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore have developed a light-activated material that can chemically convert carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide without generating unwanted byproducts.

New Catalytic Pathway for the Reduction of CO2 to CO Under Mild Conditions

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers in Singapore have developed a process for the catalytic reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to carbon monoxide (CO) under mild conditions, using aromatic aldehydes as reductants and N-Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHCs) as organocatalysts. Earlier post.).

SUTD team proposes low-temperature thermionic converter with graphene cathode; about 45% efficiency

Green Car Congress

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.
