University research @ CLIMAXScientists have made a new catalyst that works with either heat or electricity. Based on nickel atoms, the catalyst accelerates a reaction for turning carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide – the first step in making fuels and useful chemicals from CO2.
The results represent an important step toward unifying the understanding of catalytic reactions in these two very different conditions with distinct driving forces at play.
The results also explain how the new catalyst drives this key reaction faster when used in an electrochemical reactor, the research team said.
