New low-temp photocatalytic nanoparticle could shrink carbon footprint for syngas; methane dry reforming

Green Car Congress

Syngas is a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas that can be made from coal, biomass, natural gas and other sources. The hydrogen atoms pair up to form hydrogen gas, and the carbon atoms combine with oxygen in the form of carbon monoxide. When hydrogen leaves the surface quickly, it’s more likely to form molecular hydrogen.
