Crossed molecular beams experiments on dicarbon molecules, C2(X1sigmag+/a3piu), with unsaturated hydrocarbons acetylene (C2H2(X1sigmag+), ethylene (C2H4(X1Ag)), methylacetylene (CH3CCH(X1A1)), and allene (H2CCCH2 (X1A1)) were carried out at 18 collision energies between 10.6 and 50.3 kJ mol(-1) utilizing a universal crossed beams machine to untangle the reaction dynamics forming hydrogen defici...

Turquoise hydrogen refers to produced through a fossil-fuel-based process in which carbon is separated into solid and no dioxide produced. In this study, dodecane was selected as simulated oil for waste plastic pyrolysis recovery oil, the turquoise production characteristics thermal cracking reaction using an arc plasma torch were investigated. The stably discharged at 2 4 kW. Hydrogen gas anal...

Experiment Design – Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used to model and to optimize the activation of Methane (C1) using Ethane (C2) as co-reactant into higher hydrocarbons, over Zn-containing zeolite catalyst. The application of this methodology in this work, allows a better understanding of the influence of the different factors; on two responses simultaneously: C1 Conversion and Aromatic...

Direct conversion of carbon dioxide to multicarbon products remains as a grand challenge in electrochemical CO2 reduction. Various forms of oxidized copper have been demonstrated as electrocatalysts that still require large overpotentials. Here, we show that an ensemble of Cu nanoparticles (NPs) enables selective formation of C2-C3 products at low overpotentials. Densely packed Cu NP ensembles ...

The reaction dynamics of C2 in the ground ( Rg ) and first electronically excited ( 3 Q u) states with the simplest alkyne, acetylene C2H2(X Rg ), were investigated in a crossed molecular beam setup at a nominal collision energy of 24.1 kJ mol . The experimental data expose the existence of a C2/H exchange pathway to form C4H+H. The experimental results were combined with electronic structure c...
