Make Liquid Fuel From CO2 and Natural Gas
October 12, 2017 | 5 Comments
University of Liverpool researchers have made a significant breakthrough in the direct conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) into liquid fuels and chemicals which could help industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while producing valuable chemical feedstocks. Or, its recycling some of the CO2. Its a very interesting catalytic process. In a paper […]

Graphene From CO2 May Be Made Into a Supercapacitor
August 9, 2017 | Leave a Comment
Michigan Technological University researchers have developed a new way to make surface-microporous 3-D graphene, which has a unique structure of mesopores and micropores, that could be made into a supercapacitor. The new process makes tiny dents in the surface of the graphene greatly enhancing its potential as a supercapacitor. Even better, it can be made […]

A New Catalyst Splits Apart CO2
June 6, 2017 | Leave a Comment
Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) have developed a new catalyst that does the electrolysis of carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon monoxide. The scientists have developed an Earth-abundant catalyst based on copper-oxide nanowires modified with tin oxide. This is a step into the future of clean energy by storing it in the […]

University of Central Florida chemistry Professor Fernando Uribe-Romo and his team of students has just found a way to trigger the process of photosynthesis in a synthetic material that also creates a clean way to produce fuel precursors. His team created a way to trigger a chemical reaction in a synthetic material called metal-organic frameworks […]

Catalytic Key Found to Make Methanol From Carbon Dioxide
March 30, 2017 | Leave a Comment
Brookhaven National Laboratory experiments and computational modeling studies definitively identify the ‘active site’ of a catalyst commonly used for making methanol from CO2. The results will guide the design of improved catalysts for transforming CO2 back into useful chemicals. Scientists are intensely interested in the catalysts that facilitate this type of chemical conversion. Like molecular […]
