Unstoppable catalyst outperforms sulfur to revolutionize carbon capture

SciTechDaily

Researchers at the University of Toronto Engineering have developed a new catalyst that efficiently converts captured carbon into valuable products such as ethylene and ethanol, even in the presence of sulfur oxide impurities. This breakthrough offers a more economically viable method for carbon capture and upgrading, potentially revolutionizing industries such as steel and cement production … Read more

Scientists create and test an efficient water-splitting catalyst predicted by theory

This article was reviewed according to Science fact checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread OK! This diagram shows how a catalyst consisting of a few layers of iridium oxide (IrOX) over a titanium nitride (TiN) carrier can efficiently store oxygen (O2), hydrogen ions (H+), and electrons (e.g–) from water molecules (H2O) in an acidic electrolyte. … Read more

This diagram shows how a catalyst consisting of a few layers of iridium oxide (IrOX) over a titanium nitride (TiN) carrier can efficiently store oxygen (O2), hydrogen ions (H+), and electrons (e.g–) from water molecules (H2O) in an acidic electrolyte. This ‘oxygen evolution reaction’ is the more challenging of the two reactions required to split … Read more
