Nanowerk  November 9, 2022 An international team of researchers (UK, Spain) has demonstrated the feasibility of a Dual Function Material’s (DFM) ability to passively capture CO2 directly from the air opening the possibilities of chemical production from dilute sources of CO2, through a combination of CO2 adsorption and subsequent chemical transformation. Combinations of Ni Ru bimetallic catalyst with Na2O, K2O or CaO adsorbent were supported on CeO2–Al2O3 to develop flexible DFMs. They were shown to reversibly adsorb CO2 between the 350 and 650 °C temperature range and were easily regenerated by an inert gas purge stream. Captured CO2 could be […]
