UCLA team proposes non-photosynthetic biological conversion of CO2

Green Car Congress

Most of us naturally associate biological CO 2 conversion with photosynthesis in plants and algae. Furthermore, the maximum efficiency of solar energy conversion by photosynthesis is 5%, while typical solar panel efficiency reaches 20%. The Overall Schema for Non-photosynthetic CO 2 Utilization toward a Sustainable Future.

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.
