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. This work was supported by grants from the Packard Foundation and the Precourt Institute for Energy at Stanford University. Chengshuang Zhou, Arun S.

Peking U, SINOPEC team develops method for direct conversion of isopropanol to C6+ high-octane blendstock

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Peking University and SINOPEC have developed a one-post method for the synthesis of C 6+ branched compounds from isopropanol condenstation on Ni/MoC catalysts. The branched-chain selectivity in C 6+ and nonnecessity of H 2 give this route advantage in high-octane gasoline blendstock production. —Zhou et al.

Northwestern team identifies site in enzyme responsible for methane-methanol conversion

Green Car Congress

An interdisciplinary team at Northwestern University has found that the enzyme responsible for the methane-methanol conversion catalyzes this reaction at a site that contains just one copper ion. Credit: Northwestern University. Our study provides a major leap forward in understanding how bacteria methane-to-methanol conversion.
