New process efficiently recycles excess CO2 into fuel – gasworld

A new study has introduced an electrochemical reaction, enhanced by polymers, to improve CO2-to-ethylene conversion efficiency.Led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Chemistry Progressor Andrew Gewirth and Graduate Student Xinyi Chen, the study reports that by allowing CO2 to flow through a reaction chamber fitter with copper electrodes and an electrolyte solution is the most common method researchers use to convert CO2 to useful carbon-containing chemicals.
Copper metal is highly selective…
