Electrochemical Production of Sustainable Hydrocarbon Fuels from CO2 Co-electrolysis in Eutectic Molten Melts

Thermocatalytic CO2-free Production of Hydrogen from Hydrocarbon Fuels

Approach • Produce hydrogen-rich gas via thermocatalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons utilizing a part of the carbon product as a catalyst for the process • Improve the catalyst activity and process efficiency by continuous activation of carbon particulates in presence of activating agents • Design, fabricate and test 3-kWth thermocatalytic reactor for CO/CO2-free production of hydrogenrich ga...

An Electrochemical Model for Syngas Production by Co- electrolysis of H2O and CO2

An Electrochemical Model for Syngas Production by Coelectrolysis of H2O and CO2 Meng Ni* Building Energy Research Group, Department of Building and Real Estate The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China Abstract Co-electrolysis of CO2 and H2O in a solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) offers a promising way for syngas production. In this study, an electrochemical m...

Electrochemical Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Hydrocarbon Fuels

Electrolysis of a molten semiconductor

Metals cannot be extracted by electrolysis of transition-metal sulfides because as liquids they are semiconductors, which exhibit high levels of electronic conduction and metal dissolution. Herein by introduction of a distinct secondary electrolyte, we reveal a high-throughput electro-desulfurization process that directly converts semiconducting molten stibnite (Sb2S3) into pure (99.9%) liquid ...
