Catalysed sonochemical production of syngas

Image from Licence Details: Catalysed sonochemical production of syngas

Applications: Syngas, Sonochemistry, Ultrasound, Catalysts, Layered Double Hydroxides

Oxford scientists have developed a novel metallic copper nanoparticle catalyst for syngas production at room temperature using sonochemical activation.

Features Benefits
  • Sonocatalytic reduction of  carbon dioxide in water
  • Room temperature production of syngas (CO/H2) using water as source of H2
  • Uses accessible and economically viable layered double oxide catalyst
  • Produces both CO & H2 in situ
  • Produces CO with over 85% selectivity
  • Reactions under ambient conditions
  • Lower costs due to lower thermal requirements
  • Green/environmental production route to syngas
  • Use case for currently employed carbon dioxide sequestration techniques that capture CO2 in water
  • Low energy requirements of sonochemical reactor enables greener/renewable power sources
