Specifically, these C2+ products, such as ethylene and ethanol, are essential raw materials to produce everyday compounds such as plastics, polymers and detergents.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers said that this advance could not only circumvent the need for high-purity CO2 but also repurpose a prevalent waste product, working towards closing the carbon cycle and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Traditionally, the process of transforming CO2 into a range of feedstocks for chemicals and fuels demands high purity-CO2, energy-intensive purification and high costs, according to the researchers.<\/p>\n<p>The research team, led by Assistant Professor Yanwei Lum from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, the NUS College of Design and Engineering, aimed to avoid these challenges by integrating catalyst design with electrolyte selection. In their recent study, published in Nature Communications, the researchers introduced a new method to design catalysts with \u2018enhanced efficiencies\u2019 for the electrochemical conversion of CO2. Utilising this approach, they designed a nickel catalyst boasting exceptional performance for CO2 reduction, achieving an efficiency rate exceeding 99 per cent. In a second study, published in the same journal on February 9, 2024, the NUS team designed a composite system by sequentially layering this nickel catalyst onto a copper surface.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theengineer.co.uk\/content\/news\/new-technique-developed-to-transform-waste-co2-into-high-value-chemicals\">The Engineer<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-523\/\">New technique developed to transform waste CO2 into high-value chemicals<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[601,73,575,445],"class_list":["post-130375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-chemical","tag-co2","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=130375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130375\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=130375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=130375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=130375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
