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, […]

New Process Recycles Most CO2 Into Ethylene

January 28, 2021 | Leave a Comment

A new University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign study introduced an electrochemical reaction, enhanced by polymers, to improve CO2-to-ethylene conversion efficiency over previous attempts. For years, researchers have worked to repurpose excess atmospheric carbon dioxide into new chemicals, fuels and other products traditionally made from hydrocarbons harvested from fossil fuels. The recent push to mitigate the […]

Lets Recycle CO2!

December 6, 2017 | 3 Comments

Korea’s Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) research team has developed titanium dioxide-based photocatalyst with the highest efficiency in the world that converts carbon dioxide recycling it into methane. The result is expected to be applied to technologies to reduce and reuse carbon dioxide. The team’s titanium dioxide (TiO2) -based high efficiency photocatalyst […]
