Larger catalyst batches could make carbon recycling cheaper and easier to scale

Researchers from the University of Mississippi and Texas A&M University have developed a method to produce larger batches of carbon-recycling catalysts at a lower cost, potentially overcoming a major barrier to scaling up carbon capture and conversion technologies. The study, published in ACS Omega, demonstrates that 75-gram batches of advanced single-atom electrocatalysts can be synthesized in a single process without compromising performance, compared to traditional methods that rely on smaller, silver-based catalysts. Carbon dioxide, responsible for 80% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, can be captured and converted into carbon monoxide, a valuable industrial feedstock for manufacturing fuels, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. By enabling faster catalyst production, this innovation could significantly reduce costs and accelerate the commercialization of carbon recycling technologies.
