New inexpensive catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO could help with storage of renewable energy

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed an inexpensive bismuth?carbon CO can then be reacted with H 2 O via the water?gas Moreover, Bi is a byproduct of Pb, Cu, and Sn refining, and has few significant commercial applications, resulting in the price of Bi being low and stable.
