Title: Copper catalyst yields high efficiency CO2-to-fuels conversion
Post by: rukiddingme on September 19, 2017, 07:52:44 AM


Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new electrocatalyst that can directly convert carbon dioxide into multicarbon fuels and alcohols using record-low inputs of energy. The work is the latest in a round of studies coming out of Berkeley Lab tackling the challenge of creating a clean chemical manufacturing system that can put carbon dioxide to good use.


In the new study, published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences[/i] (PNAS[/i]), a team led by Berkeley Lab scientist Peidong Yang discovered that an electrocatalyst made up of copper nanoparticles provided the conditions necessary to break down carbon dioxide (https://phys.org/tags/carbon+dioxide/) to form ethylene, ethanol, and propanol.
