New process uses localized surface plasmons for room-temperature conversion of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Although the researchers demonstrated this method in a small-scale, highly controlled environment with dimensions of just nanometers (billionths of a meter), they have already come up with concepts for scaling up the method and making it practical for real-world applications. C, hot enough to melt aluminum at normal atmospheric pressure.

Researchers demonstrate efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2+ alcohols

Green Car Congress

In a paper published in the journal Joule , they suggest that the results show great potential for the electrocatalytic conversion of CO 2 into value-added chemicals. A and B) Cu-DS catalyst synthesized under a CO-rich environment favors high coverage of *CO intermediate and promotes alcohol production. (D

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

Green Car Congress

A competing reaction, called the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) or “water splitting,” takes precedence over the CO 2 conversion reaction. One reason is that it performs HER very well, and brings down the CO2 reduction selectivity dramatically. —Haotian Wang, a Rowland Fellow at Harvard University and the corresponding author.

Researchers tailor catalyst microenvironments to enhance CO2 electroreduction to multicarbon products

Green Car Congress

Our group has found that you can do various tricks with the local environment of the catalyst to provide that selectivity. In previous studies, the researchers had established the precise conditions that gave the best electrical and chemical environment for creating commercially interesting carbon-rich products.

UP Catalyst CO2-derived carbon nanotube electrode material boosts cycle life in Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The development of this new electrode material is a significant step towards achieving these goals, as it not only enhances battery performance, but also helps to mitigate the impact of carbon emissions on the environment.

Twelve and LanzaTech successfully convert CO2 to ethanol

Green Car Congress

Our process aims to rebalance the overabundance of carbon in our environment and instead reuse it for meaningful applications. Our partnership with Twelve provides us with the feedstock needed to create critical resources like ethanol without adding CO 2 to the atmosphere. —LanzaTech CEO Dr. Jennifer Holmgren.
