SARI researchers propose novel method to enhance electrocatalytic conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

CHEN Wei and WEI Wei from the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute (SARI) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a novel method that enables efficient CO 2 electroreduction to CO by virtue of low-coordination chloride ion adsorption on a silver hollow fiber (Ag HF) electrode. A research team led by Profs. and Sun, Y. doi: 10.1002/anie.202210432.

New efficient, low-temperature catalyst for converting water and CO to hydrogen and CO2

Green Car Congress

Scientists in the US and China have developed a new low-temperature catalyst for producing high-purity hydrogen gas while simultaneously using up carbon monoxide (CO) via the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. This catalyst produces a purer form of hydrogen to feed into the fuel cell. The reaction is favored at a low working temperature.

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

Green Car Congress

Qingjie Ge at the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in China has developed an efficient, stable, and multifunctional Na-Fe 3 O 4 /HZSM-5 catalyst for the direct production of gasoline-range hydrocarbons from CO 2 hydrogenation. The gasoline fractions are mainly isoparaffins and aromatics, thus favoring the octane number.

Study for European Parliament assesses options for turning CO2 into methanol for use in transport

Green Car Congress

This approach, supported by the promoters of the Open Fuel Standard Act in the US, would oblige the car industry to put a substantial number of vehicles in the market, which can run on natural gas, hydrogen, biodiesel, methanol, as well as flexible fuel or plug-in electric drive vehicles, among others. —Methanol report.

Ford researchers: global light-duty CO2 regulatory targets broadly consistent with 450 ppm stabilization

Green Car Congress

Chinese regulations are less stringent than the glide path (153 g CO 2 /km) in 2015, but in 2020 the regulation overachieves the glide path target of 128 g CO 2 /km. With fuel actions, the China glide path is relaxed from 4.5 to 5% YOY to 3.5% YOY in the near-term. —Winkler et al. Winkler, Timothy J.
