Novel tin-based metal–organic frameworks for reducing carbon dioxide to formate

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Tokyo Tech have developed a tin-based metal–organic framework (MOF) that can photocatalytically reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into formate under visible light. The ongoing demand for carbon-rich fuels to drive the economy keeps adding more carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to the atmosphere. —Prof.

Tohoku, UCLA team advance 4V-class metal-free organic Lithium-ion batteries; croconic acid cathode

Green Car Congress

A joint research team from Tohoku University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has made a significant advance towards high-voltage metal-free lithium-ion batteries by using a small organic molecule: croconic acid. Most reported organic batteries to date, however, possess a relatively low (1-3V) working voltage.

New photocatalytic system converts carbon dioxide to valuable fuel more efficiently than natural photosynthesis

Green Car Congress

The new system mimics a natural chloroplast to convert carbon dioxide in water into methane, very efficiently using light. Photosynthesis is the process by which chloroplasts in plants and some organisms use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to create food or energy.
