August 4, 2021 Scientists show a single catalyst can perform the first step of turning CO2 into fuel in two very different ways Scientists show a single catalyst can perform the first step of turning CO2 into fuel in two very different ways Their work aims to bridge two approaches to driving the reaction – one powered by heat, the other by electricity – with the goal of discovering more efficient and sustainable ways to convert carbon dioxide into useful products. By Glennda Chui Structured Content Virtually all chemical and fuel production relies on catalysts, w...
SLAC With a new suite of tools, scientists discovered exactly how tiny plate-like catalyst particles carry out a key step in that conversion – the evolution of oxygen in an electrocatalytic cell – in unprecedented detail. Transitioning from fossil fuels to a clean hydrogen economy will require cheaper and more efficient ways to use renewable sources of electricity to break water into hydrogen and oxygen. But a key step in that process, known as the oxygen evolution reaction or OER, has proven to be a bottleneck. Today it’s only about 75% efficient, and the precious metal catalysts used...
