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

Green Car Congress

Although the researchers demonstrated this method in a small-scale, highly controlled environment with dimensions of just nanometers (billionths of a meter), they have already come up with concepts for scaling up the method and making it practical for real-world applications. C, hot enough to melt aluminum at normal atmospheric pressure.

New mesocrystal photocatalyst enhances light-driven hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

When light is applied to photocatalysts, electrons and holes are produced on the surface of the catalyst; hydrogen is obtained when these electrons reduce the hydrogen ions in water. As a result, it has a more efficient conversion rate for producing hydrogen than conventional nanoparticulate photocatalysts.
