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

Green Car Congress

In this reaction, solid carbon latches onto one of the oxygen atoms in carbon dioxide gas, reducing it to carbon monoxide. In the presence of carbon dioxide gas, which the team injected into the system, the graphite served the role of plucking individual oxygen atoms from carbon dioxide, reducing it to carbon monoxide.

Researchers propose harvesting CO2 mixing energy to generate electricity

Green Car Congress

Researchers in The Netherlands are proposing a new method for harvesting electricity from CO 2 emissions. To harvest the mixing energy from CO 2 containing gas emissions, they propose using pairs of porous electrodes, one selective for anions and the other selective to cations.
