New Efficient Process Recycles CO2 Back Into Fuel
December 6, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers developed an efficient process that can convert carbon dioxide into formate. Formate is a nonflammable liquid or solid material that can be used like hydrogen or methanol to power a fuel cell and generate electricity. The describing paper has been published in the journal Cell Press Physical Sciences. The […]
