Electrochemical reconstruction of ZnO for selective reduction of CO2 to CO

Andreas Züttel, Emanuele Moioli, Wen Luo, Jie Zhang, Kun Zhao, Qin Zhang

Electrocatalytic conversion of CO2 to valuable chemicals is a highly promising route to close the carbon cycle. Herein, Zn catalysts derived from electrochemical reconstruction of ZnO materials are presented as efficient CO2-to-CO catalysts. We found that ...

Parametric sensitivity in the Sabatier reaction over Ru/Al2O3 - theoretical determination of the minimal requirements for reactor activation

Andreas Züttel, Noris André Gallandat, Emanuele Moioli

The methanation of carbon dioxide is an option for chemical storage of renewable energy together with greenhouse gas reutilization because it offers a product with a high energy density. The reaction CO2 + 4H(2) CH4 + 2H(2)O is performed on a Ru/Al2O3 cata ...

Several efforts have been spent in recent years to address the simulation challenges posed by the non-conventional design of Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs). One of the design specificities of MSRs is the volume heat source in the liquid fuel, which has been p ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2019

Thermal engineering of metal-organic frameworks for adsorption-based applications is very topical in view of their industrial potential, in particular, since heat management and thermal stability have been identified as important obstacles. Hence, a fundam ...

Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactor for Hydrogen Production from Formic Acid and Its Use in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

Gabor Laurenczy, Nordahl Autissier, Katerina Stefania Sordakis, Martin Grasemann, Andrew Francis Dalebrook

A proof-of-concept prototype of a medium-scale heterogeneous catalytic reactor for continuous production of hydrogen through formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation has been developed. A commercial proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell (FC) fed with the result ...
