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, […]

New Catalyst Makes Carbon Fuels From CO2
June 30, 2021 | Leave a Comment
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign scientists’ new catalyst produces hydrocarbons when CO2 and water react with the light driven catalyst. The researchers reported that small quantities of useful molecules such as hydrocarbons are produced when carbon dioxide and water react in the presence of light and the new silver nanoparticle catalyst. Their validation study – […]

New Tech Captures CO2 Reducing Power Plant Emissions
August 19, 2020 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… University of California – Berkeley chemists have come up with an efficient and less expensive technique for removing CO2 from natural gas plant emissions. The technique could be tweaked for higher output plants that use coal. The chemists took a magnesium-based metal-organic framework and added a tetraamine that catalyzes a CO2 polymer easily removed […]
