greenhouse gas, singlehandedly responsible for 78% of the change in energy balance in Earth's atmosphere between 1990 and 2022.
Through their new method, the team was able to perform CO2R with nearly 100% efficiency under mildly acidic conditions, using either gold or zinc as catalysts. If it works as intended, the atoms form other, more desirable molecules that can be used as fuels or chemicals. By engineering the electrolyte, the new method can get similar results using cheaper, more abundant materials.
Hydrogen energy has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, offering a clean and sustainable energy source. However, the development of low-cost and efficient catalysts for hydrogen ...
