Encapsulated Co–Ni alloy boosts high-temperature CO2 electroreduction

Xile Hu, Jeremy Luterbacher, Seongmin Jin, Wenhao Ren

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction into chemicals and fuels holds great promise for renewable energy storage and carbon recycling 1–3 . Although high-temperature CO 2 electroreduction in solid oxide electrolysis cells is industrially relevant, current catalyst ...

Size‐Selective Functionalization of Sugars and Polyols Using Zeolites for Renewable Surfactant Production

Esther Amstad, Jeremy Luterbacher, Songlan Sun, Seongmin Jin

Diol functionalization with acetals in carbohydrates and polyols is ubiquitously used in protection chemistry and in the manufacture of several platform chemicals. However, the selective functionalization of molecules where multiple acetalization reactions ...

Atom-by-atom design of Cu/ZrOx clusters on MgO for CO2 hydrogenation using liquid-phase atomic layer deposition

Jeremy Luterbacher, Victor Carle Adrien Boureau, Liping Zhong, Seongmin Jin

The difficulty of synthesizing uniform atomically precise active sites limits our ability to engineer increasingly more active heterogeneous catalysts for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Here we design Cu/ZrOx clusters on MgO with near atomic precisi ...

Mg-incorporated sorbent for efficient removal of trace CO from H2 gas

Seongmin Jin, Gina Bang

Removal of trace CO impurities is an essential step in the utilization of Hydrogen as a clean energy source. While various solutions are currently employed to address this challenge, there is an urgent need to improve their efficiency. Here, we show that a ...

Synergistic interactions between PtRu catalyst and nitrogen-doped carbon support boost hydrogen oxidation

Xile Hu, Andreas Schueler, Jeremy Luterbacher, Anna Krammer, Songlan Sun, Miyeon Chang, Lichen Bai, Seunghwa Lee, Weiyan Ni, Seongmin Jin

Hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) is a potentially cost-effective energy conversion technology. However, current state-of-the-art HEMFCs require a high loading of platinum-group-metal (PGM) catalysts, especially for the hydrogen oxidation react ...

Dynamic CO2 sorption on MgO-based sorbent in the presence of CO and H2O at elevated pressures

Seongmin Jin, Gina Bang

The presence of gas species other than the target adsorbate in practical conditions causes complications in implementing a sorption-based process because of synergistic or detrimental effects on the sorption mechanism. MgO-based sorbents have attracted mas ...
