Integrated CO₂ capture and reduction catalysis: Role of γ-Al₂O₃ support, unique state of potassium and synergy with copper

Carbon dioxide capture and reduction (CCR) process emerges as an efficient catalytic strategy for CO₂ capture and conversion to valuable chemicals. K-promoted Cu/Al₂O₃ catalysts exhibited promising CO₂ capture efficiency and highly selective conversion to syngas (CO + H₂). The dynamic...

Insertion of MXene-Based Materials into Cu–Pd 3D Aerogels for Electroreduction of CO₂ to Formate

The electrochemical CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR) is an attractive method to produce renewable fuel and chemical feedstock using clean energy sources. Formate production represents one of the most economical target products from CO₂RR but is primarily produced using post-transition metal catalysts that...

Selective dehydration of glycerol on copper based catalysts

Glycerol is produced in large quantities as a byproduct of biodiesel, and among others hydroxyacetone (acetol) is an important commodity obtained from glycerol. Metallic Cu has been identified as active site for the dehydration of glycerol to hydroxyacetone and acid and metal sites are known to influence the catalytic performance. In this...
