Stanford engineers develop catalyst strategy to improve turnover frequencies for CO2 conversion to hydrocarbons by orders of magnitude

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Stanford University have shown that porous polymer encapsulation of metal-supported catalysts can drive the selectivity of CO 2 conversion to hydrocarbons. Such polymer confinement modifies the CO 2 hydrogenation behavior of the Ru surface, significantly enhancing the C 2+ production turnover frequency.

NSF awards $2M to Rice U collaboration to explore direct conversion of CO2 into fuels

Green Car Congress

The NSF grant will address challenges that remain before the renewable strategy can be applied practically on a commercial scale. In addition, efficient electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction-reaction catalysts for target products are scarce. To address these challenges, our project is interdisciplinary. —Haotian Wang.
