Operando Observation of (Bi)carbonate Precipitation during Electrochemical CO2 Reduction in Strongly Acidic Electrolytes

Corsin Battaglia, Alessandro Senocrate, Nukorn Plainpan

Precipitation of (bi)carbonate salts during the electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) has been identified as a major cause of degradation and one of the main challenges to be overcome before implementing this technology on the industrial scale. Recently, t ...

Toward Sustainable and Cost-Effective CO2 Conversion Processes to Propylene Carbonate Based on Ionic Liquids

Elia Mercedes Ruiz Pachon

The use of ionic liquids (ILs) for CO2 capture and utilization into a valuable product is attracting interest even though literature evaluating their sustainability is scarce. A liquid-liquid extraction (LLE)-based separation is recently proposed as an alt ...

Catalyst design for C-O bond hydrogenolysis of renewable materials

Antoine Philippe Van Muyden

Anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions leading to climate change require to use of renewable carbon sources such as CO2 and biomass which differ from fossil resources by having a higher number of oxygen atoms. Therefore, catalytic C-O bond cleavage will pl ...

Copper battery for heat to power conversion and energy storage

Sunny Isaïe Maye

An important part of the electricity production relies on heat conversion. Indeed power plants burn fuels like natural gas, coal or use nuclear fission to produce heat that can be transformed into electricity through a thermodynamic cycle and the mechanica ...

Indirect CO2 Methanation: Hydrogenolysis of Cyclic Carbonates Catalyzed by Ru-Modified Zeolite Produces Methane and Diols

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Wei-Tse Lee, Zhangjun Huang

We report a ruthenium‐modified zeolite which efficiently transforms propylene carbonate to propylene glycol and methane, under solvent‐free conditions. The catalyst achieved high product selectivity and no significant ageing effect was observed after multi ...

Palladium-Catalyzed Carboxy-Alkynylation of Propargylic Amines Using Carbonate Salts as Carbon Dioxide Source

Jérôme Waser, Phillip Gulliver Dominic Greenwood

A palladium-catalyzed multicomponent reaction of propargylic amines, alkynyl bromides and cesium hydrogen carbonate to access oxazolidinones is reported. In contrast to previous reports, only a slight excess of cesium hydrogen carbonate is used as a surrog ...

The role of malachite nanorods for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C-2 hydrocarbons

Andreas Züttel, Emad Oveisi, Jie Zhang, Kun Zhao, Mariana Spodaryk

The electrochemical reduction of CO2 to higher hydrocarbons is a very challenging process that has high potential for the storage of large amounts of renewable energy with a high gravimetric and volumetric energy density. The distribution of hydrocarbons f ...

Solvent effect in photo-ionic cells

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Elena Vladimirova

Photo-ionic cells convert solar energy into redox fuels. Unlike in photovoltaic devices where the photo-induced charge transfer reactions occur at an electrode, the photoreaction takes place in one bulk solution of a biphasic liquid-liquid system, and the ...

Geochemistry, geothermometry and influence of the concentration of mobile elements in the chemical characteristics of carbonate-evaporitic thermal systems. The case of the Tiermas geothermal system (Spain)

The Tiermas low temperature geothermal system, hosted in the Paleocene-Eocene carbonates of the Jaca-Pamplona basin, has been studied to evaluate the geochemistry and the temperature of the waters in the deep reservoir. These waters are of chloride-sodium ...

Rapid mobilization of noncrystalline U(IV) coupled with FeS oxidation

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Malgorzata Alicja Stylo

The reactivity of disordered, noncrystalline U(IV) species remains poorly characterized despite their prevalence in biostimulated sediments. Because of the lack of crystalline structure, noncrystalline U(IV) may be susceptible to oxidative mobilization und ...

Synthesis of cyclic carbonates from diols and CO2 catalyzed by carbenes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Martin Hulla, Shoubhik Das, Weronika Gruszka

The synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2 is a well-established reaction, whereas the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from diols and CO2 is considerably more challenging, and few efficient catalysts are available. Here, we describe heterocycl ...
