Liquid-Metal-Enabled Mechanical-Energy-Induced CO2 Conversion

Junma Tang et al.

Summary: This green carbon capture and conversion technology uses liquid gallium to reduce CO2 into solid products and O-2 at near room temperature, driven by mechanical energy. With a gallium/silver fluoride mix at 7:1 mass ratio, it achieves 92% efficiency in capturing and converting a tonne of CO2 at a remarkably low input energy of 230 kWh. Overall, this technology offers an economical solution for reducing CO2 emissions.

Modulating the Reactivity of Liquid Ga Nanoparticle Inks by Modifying Their Surface Chemistry

Laia Castilla-Amoros et al.

Summary: Micro- and nanosized particles of liquid metals, particularly Ga-based alloys, have gained attention for various applications. Surface functionalization of Ga-based nanoparticles with organic ligands allows for easily processable inks. This study investigates the interaction between these ligands and the native oxide skin of liquid metal nanoparticles, which plays an important role in regulating their properties. The choice of ligand is found to affect the oxide thickness and chemical reactivity of Ga nanoparticles. Thermodynamics and kinetics suggest that it is the affinity of the anchoring group towards the metal core that determines oxide thickness. Thicker oxide shells promote the formation of Cu-Ga nanodimers, while thinner oxides lead to isolated Cu nanoparticles. This research emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate ligand when studying Ga-based metal nanoparticles for different applications.

Colloidal Nanocrystals as Electrocatalysts with Tunable Activity and Selectivity

Yannick T. Guntern et al.

Summary: Correlating the structure and composition of catalyst with its activity, selectivity, and stability is crucial for advancing the understanding of electrocatalytic processes for chemical energy conversion. Well-defined colloidal nanocrystals provide an ideal platform to investigate the effect of these parameters on catalytic performance, offering access to active catalysts that cannot be produced by other synthetic methods. Colloidal nanocrystals obtained as inks can be integrated onto different substrates and cell configurations to study interactions at the mesoscale and device-dependent reaction microenvironment.

Elucidating the structure-dependent selectivity of CuZn towards methane and ethanol in CO2 electroreduction using tailored Cu/ZnO precatalysts

Seyedeh Behnaz Varandili et al.

Summary: Understanding the compositional and structural features of catalysts controlling selectivity is crucial in chemical reactions. This study leveraged tailored Cu/ZnO precatalysts to identify intrinsic features of CuZn catalysts for CO2 reduction, revealing Cu@CuZn core@shell structures selective for methane and ethanol. Surface alloying and metallic Zn concentration were found to improve ethanol selectivity, with density functional theory explaining the selectivity based on electronic and tandem effects. These findings contribute to the rational tuning of bimetallic catalysts for CO2 reduction towards increased selectivity, especially for alcohols.
