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

Green Car Congress

This catalyst exhibited 78% selectivity to C 5 -C 11 as well as low (4%) CH 4 at a CO 2 conversion of 22% under industrial relevant conditions. Moreover, the multifunctional catalyst exhibited a remarkable stability for 1,000 h on stream, showing potential to be a promising industrial catalyst for CO 2 conversion to liquid fuels.

CRU: lithium price downtrend continues, with disappointing EV sales in China the driver

Green Car Congress

China is the world’s largest user of lithium, accounting for 57% of global demand in 2019, and is also the biggest supplier of lithium converted products. Chinese EV sales through to July totalled 696,000 this year. However, the combined conversion capacities of these two market leaders is below 30% of total Chinese capacity.

Oversold Lithium could be about to rally

Green Car Congress

That’s certainly a massive production ramp-up considering that global production in 2017 totaled just over 200kt. SQM hit technical obstacles at its new brine conversion facilities that delayed its target capacity of 70,000 tpa LCE by end of 2018 while Albemarle continues to struggle to achieve full capacity at La Negra II.

Durable ruthenium and graphene fuel cell catalyst matches performance of platinum alloys

Green Car Congress

Fuel cells, which directly convert the chemical energy from fuel into electricity, have been recognized as electrocatalysts for PEMFCs. Several approaches have been implemented to reduce the usage of Pt, such as dispersing the promising candidates for efficient and clean energy conversion. The conversion of O 2 to H 2 O is depicted.
