Well-Defined Metal Oxide Nanocatalysts Lead to Selective Photoconversion of Carbon Dioxide into Fuels

Well-defined colloidal zinc oxide-copper(I) oxide hybrid nanocatalysts behaved as photocatalysts for the direct conversion of carbon dioxide to methane in an aqueous medium under ambient pressure and room temperature. The activity was 1080 mmolgcat-1h-1 with a quantum yield of 1.5%, which were two magnitudes superior to any other catalysts under aqueous environments. Moreover, the selectivity to methane approached 100%, meaning that carbon dioxide could be exclusively converted into pure fuels by sunlight....read more

Development of Efficient Nickel Catalyst for Dry Reforming of Methane

The rise of atmospheric CO₂ concentration has resulted in serious environmental problems. Dry reforming of methane (DRM) has gained tremendous attention because carbon dioxide can be converted into more useful chemicals with methane, which is also one of the most important greenhouse gases. In DRM research, noble metal catalysts have been extensively studied, but their high cost is a major obstacle. Nickel, which is considered to be promising due to its high activity but affordable price, has shown severe coke formation leading to rapid deactivation of catalysts so far. However, our nickel catalysts show high activity with exceptional durability for 600 hours of reaction. We believe these catalysts can contribute to environment and industries....read more
