Catalysed sonochemical production of syngas
Oxford scientists have developed a novel metallic copper nanoparticle catalyst for syngas production at room temperature using sonochemical activation.
Applications: Syngas, Sonochemistry, Ultrasound, Catalysts, Layered Double Hydroxides
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Sonocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide in water | Room temperature production of syngas (CO/H2) using water as source of H2 |
| Reactions under ambient conditions | Uses accessible and economically viable layered double oxide catalyst |
| Green/environmental production route to syngas | Produces both CO & H2 in situ |
| Produces CO with over 85% selectivity | |
| Lower costs due to lower thermal requirements | |
| 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 |
