New low-temp photocatalytic nanoparticle could shrink carbon footprint for syngas; methane dry reforming

Green Car Congress

Syngas is a mix of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas that can be made from coal, biomass, natural gas and other sources. Zhou said the syngas catalyst uses a similar design. Beyond syngas, the single-atom, antenna-reactor design could be useful in designing energy-efficient catalysts for other applications.
