Sparse layers of 10-nanometer silver particles boost CO production from CO₂
Electrolysis can reduce CO 2 to CO, a raw material for chemical products such as fuels.
AI Summary
Electrolysis can convert CO₂ into CO, a key feedstock for fuels and other chemicals. In the GreenQUEST project, an international team led by HZB chemist Prashanth Menezes examined catalyst layers composed of silver nanoparticles. The researchers systematically varied both the size of the particles and the density of the layers. Their work aims to identify how these structural parameters influence the efficiency of CO₂ reduction to CO.
