Written by AZoCleantechJan 12 2021 For several years, scientists have taken efforts to convert the surplus atmospheric carbon dioxide into new fuels, chemicals, and other products conventionally made from hydrocarbons harnessed from fossil fuels. Illinois researchers Andrew Gewirth, left, and Stephanie Chen designed a new copper-polymer electrode that can help recycle excess CO 2 into ethylene, a useful carbon-based chemical that can be used as fuel.

A new study has come up with an electrochemical reaction, improved by polymers, to enhance the conversion efficiency of CO ....
