A new project is awarded titled with “Integrated Heterogeneous Structure of High-Entropy-Alloy/Reactor for High-Throughput Chemical Synthesis via In-Situ Carbon-Dioxide Hydrogenation” from Department of Energy.
Conversion of nuclear-generated energy, in the form of heat or electrons, to chemical energy carriers is an important pathway to enable the use of carbon dioxide or other compounds including nitrogen, steam, and light alkanes (e.g., methane, ethane, propane, etc.) as a feedstock.
We will work with Idaho National Laboratory (Dr. Wenjuan Bian) to synthesize, characterize, and test high-entropy alloy electro catalysts for converting CO2 to chemicals such as methanol.
