A Scalable Method for Preparing Cu Catalysts for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to C2+ Products: Anodic Halogenation and Subsequent Surface Reconstruction

Overview One crucial way to mitigate the rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere and the harmful climate change effects caused by this increase is to capture CO2 and, if possible, convert the carbon therein to a useable product. However, there is currently no known process or technology to create, at scale, the electrocatalysts needed...

Overpotential and Selectivity in the Electrochemical Conversion of CO2 into Fuels

Overview According to the Environmental Protection Agency, carbon dioxide (CO2) accounts for 80% of all greenhouse gas emissions. While much attention is focused on cutting CO2 by transitioning to clean energy sources, another important way to reduce the amount of carbon entering the atmosphere is to convert CO2 and carbon monoxide into useful products....

Solar-Enriched Biofuels via Looped Oxide Catalysis

Overview The development of efficient hydroprocessing technologies to upgrade bio-oils would go far toward meeting the need for a clean and renewable source of transportation fuel. We have invented an integrated thermochemical process, also known as a looped-oxide catalysis, which produces an upgraded biofuel from biomass-derived feedstock. Market...
