Researchers develop co-catalyst system for lower cost conversion of CO2 to CO; syngas for synfuels

Green Car Congress

A team from the University of Illinois and startup Dioxide Materials has developed an electrocatalytic system for the reduction of CO 2 to CO—a key component of artificial photosynthesis and thus an enabler for the conversion of CO 2 to synthetic fuels—at overpotentials below 0.2 Advanced controls that allow a building's.
