Working Through The Problems Of CO2 Recycling
May 24, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie researchers are working through the clogging problem in CO2 electrolysis. The greenhouse gas carbon dioxide can be converted into useful hydrocarbons by electrolysis. The design of the electrolysis cell is crucial in this process. The so-called zero-gap cell is particularly suitable for industrial processes. But there are still […]

Old CO2 Science Turns Out To Be The Best Science
April 12, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Cornell University scientists have dusted off an archaic – now 120 year old – electrochemical equation. The goal is to manage atmospheric carbon dioxide and convert the gas into a useful products. The team’s work has been published in the journal ACS Catalysis. The calculation – named the Cottrell equation for chemist Frederick Gardner Cottrell, […]
