CO2 Hydrogenation over Unsupported Fe-Co Nanoalloy Catalysts

Andreas Züttel, Kun Zhao, Nicola Patelli, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler, Marco Calizzi

The thermo-catalytic synthesis of hydrocarbons from CO2 and H2 is of great interest for the conversion of CO2 into valuable chemicals and fuels. In this work, we aim to contribute to the fundamental understanding of the effect of alloying on the reaction y ...

Synthesis of grid compliant substitute natural gas from a representative biogas mixture in a hybrid Ni/Ru catalysed reactor

Alexandre Borsay, Andreas Züttel, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler, Marco Calizzi, Emanuele Moioli

We demonstrate biogas upgrading towards full CO2 conversion in mild conditions in a three-step reactor system using Ru- and Ni-based catalysts. In each of the three reactor stages, the temperature is carefully controlled, thus optimizing the reaction therm ...

Unraveling and optimizing the metal-metal oxide synergistic effect in a highly active Co (CoO)1– catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation

Loris Giovanni Lombardo, Alexandre Borsay, Andreas Züttel, Kun Zhao, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler, Marco Calizzi, Wen Luo, Emanuele Moioli, Mo Li

The relation between catalytic reactivities and metal/metal oxide ratios, as well as the functions of the metal and the metal oxides were investigated in the CO2 hydrogenation reaction over highly active Cox(CoO)1–x catalysts in operando. The catalytic rea ...

Identifying Reaction Species by Evolutionary Fitting and Kinetic Analysis: An Example of CO2 Hydrogenation in DRIFTS

Andreas Züttel, Kun Zhao, Ligang Wang, Marco Calizzi, Emanuele Moioli

Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) investigations of molecules at the surface of catalysts exhibit a strong overlap of the adsorption peaks. Therefore, the investigation of the CO2 hydrogenation on a highly active catalyst ...

Efficient Planar Perovskite Solar Cells Using Passivated Tin Oxide as an Electron Transport Layer

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Yonghui Lee, Kyung Taek Cho, Sanghyun Paek, Aron Joel Huckaba, Marco Calizzi

Planar perovskite solar cells using low-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) of the SnO2 electron transporting layer (ETL), with excellent electron extraction and hole-blocking ability, offer significant advantages compared with high-temperature depos ...

In situ Control of the Adsorption Species in CO2 Hydrogenation: Determination of Intermediates and Byproducts

Andreas Züttel, Kun Zhao, Ligang Wang, Marco Calizzi, Emanuele Moioli

CO2 hydrogenation over catalysts is a potentially exciting method to produce fuels while closing the CO2 cycle and mitigating global warming. The mechanism of this process has been controversial due to the difficulty in clearly identifying the species pres ...
