Researchers develop efficient single-atom Ni catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

An international research team has developed a new single-atom electrocatalyst that efficiently converts CO 2 to carbon monoxide (CO). The anion membrane electrode assembly prevented the direct contact between the catalyst and liquid water, maximally suppressing the H 2 evolution side reaction and facilitating the CO 2 mass transport.
