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...

Nanoparticles as Catalyst for Formation of Rigid Organic Polymers with Controlled Polymerization

Overview Polybenzoxazole (PBO) fibers have usually been made by condensing diaminobenzene diol and terephthalic acid with polyphosphoric acid (PA), which serves as both solvent and catalyst. The use of PA, however, causes the PBO fibers to be contaminated with PA units. We have invented a nanoparticle (NP)-based catalytic method to synthesize functional...
