Just like we recycle waste, repurposing excess CO2 from the atmosphere could be one way to abate the worsening climate crisis. In electrochemical reduction, CO2 is converted into industrial products ...
By controlling the structural architecture of copper at the nanoscale, researchers could precisely shape the copper into nanoclusters under 2 nm in diameter, thereby enhancing the efficiency of its ...
The study used catalysts that combine a p-type gallium-nitrogen (GaN) semiconductor, plasmonic gold light absorbers, and copper co-catalysts (p-GaN/Al 2 O 3 /Au/Cu).
The study was published in the journal ACS Nano. Copper X-ray absorption spectroscopy measurements of catalysts in action demonstrate light-driven oxidation of copper nanoparticles under ...
