New highly selective and efficient catalyst for reduction of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

The researchers found that the nano-porous silver electrocatalyst was 3,000 times more active than polycrystalline silver, a catalyst commonly used in converting carbon dioxide to useful chemicals. Additionally, because it is inorganic, silver remains more stable under harsh catalytic environments. Qi Lu, Jonathan Rosen, Yang Zhou, Gregory S.

Researchers propose reason for capacity loss in metal-oxide battery materials

Green Car Congress

Because of their high energy-storage density, materials such as metal oxides, sulfides, and fluorides are promising electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles and other technologies. However, their capacity fades very rapidly. Magnetite, among other conversion-type electrode materials (i.e.,
