Researchers demonstrate efficient electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C2+ alcohols

Green Car Congress

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is a promising approach to solve both renewable energy storage and carbon-neutral energy cycle. 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.

Molten carbonate electrolysis can produce a range of carbon nanomaterials, including graphene, from CO2 at high yield

Green Car Congress

In the Solar Thermal Electrochemical Process (STEP), developed by Professor Stuart Licht and his group at GWU, solar UV–visible energy is focused on a photovoltaic device that generates the electricity to drive the electrolysis, while concurrently the solar thermal energy is focused on a second system to generate heat for the electrolysis cell.
