Nature Inspires Ideas For Turning CO2 Back Into Fuels
April 7, 2022 | Leave a Comment
University of Cambridge researchers have developed an efficient concept to recycle carbon dioxide into clean, sustainable fuels, without any unwanted by-products or waste. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, have previously shown that biological catalysts, or enzymes, can produce fuels cleanly using renewable energy sources, but at low efficiency Their latest research has improved […]

Reduction Reactions Used To Turn CO2 Back Into Fuels
December 1, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Texas A&M University researchers recently published a comprehensive review article on how carbon dioxide can be isolated through reduction reactions and then transformed into value-added chemicals for fuels. They are able to show a path to recycle and repurpose excess carbon dioxide. While a very small percentage of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide plays a […]

A New Electrocatalyst Converts CO2 Into Liquid Fuels
November 25, 2021 | Leave a Comment
A new electrocatalyst called a-CuTi@Cu converts carbon dioxide (CO2 ) into liquid fuels. An active copper centered on an amorphous copper/titanium alloy produces ethanol, acetone, and n-butanol with high efficiency. The research has been reported by a team of Chinese researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie. The team includes members from from Foshan University (Foshan, […]

Catalyst Found That Converts CO2 Back To Natural Gas
November 18, 2021 | 1 Comment
A team of researchers has now reported the synthesis of a highly active, stable, nickel–carbon catalyst that recycles carbon dioxide through a conversion to methane (natural gas). A useful process for this transformation is photothermal methanation, in which CO2 and hydrogen are catalytically converted into CH4 and water upon irradiation with sunlight. In the journal […]

Catalyst Hunt Finds Way to Turn CO2 Back Into Fuel
October 28, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at Queensland University of Technology’s (QUT) Center for Materials Science used theoretical modeling to identify metals that can convert carbon dioxide into sustainable and clean fuel sources. Led by Associate Professor Liangzhi Kou at QUT, were part of an international study that used theoretical modeling to identify six metals (nickel, niobium, palladium, rhenium, rhodium, […]
