New inexpensive catalyst for conversion of CO2 to CO could help with storage of renewable energy

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed an inexpensive bismuth?carbon DiMeglio and Joel Rosenthal (2013) Selective Conversion of CO2 to CO with High Efficiency Using an Inexpensive Bismuth-Based Electrocatalyst. CO can then be reacted with H 2 O via the water?gas —DiMeglio and Joel Rosenthal.

New highly selective and efficient catalyst for reduction of CO2 to CO

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Delaware have developed a highly selective nanoporous silver catalyst capable of electrochemically reducing carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide with 92% efficiency. The carbon monoxide then can be used to produce synthetic fuels and chemicals. The researcher reported their findings in Nature Communications.

Researchers show mixotrophic fermentation process improves carbon conversion, boosting yields and reducing CO2

Green Car Congress

A team from White Dog Labs , a startup commercializing a mixotrophy-based fermentation process, and the University of Delaware have shown that anaerobic, non-photosynthetic mixotrophy—the concurrent utilization of organic (for example, sugars) and inorganic (CO 2 ) substrates in a single organism—can overcome the loss of carbon to CO 2 (..)
