Turning CO2 into a valuable resource

Electrolysis of an aqueous solution saturated with carbon dioxide (CO2) and containing an iron-based molecular catalyst. Electricity delivered to the carbon electrode enables, with the catalyst, conversion of CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO). The latter accumulates in the gas phase above the solution. This iron-based molecular catalyst enables CO2 reduction that is considerably faster and more stable over time than the usual catalysts. The goal is to develop a process to exploit the carbon dioxide…

Extraction of carbon monoxide (CO) using a gas syringe. It is then detected and quantified in a gas chromatography device. This carbon monoxide comes from the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) effected by an iron-based molecular catalyst and electrons supplied by a carbon electrode. This catalyst enables CO2 reduction that is considerably faster and more stable over time than the usual catalysts. The goal is to develop a process to exploit the carbon dioxide, one of the principal greenhouse…

Analysis of the contents of a gas syringe consisting of carbon monoxide (CO) in a gas chromatography device. This carbon monoxide comes from the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) effected by an iron-based molecular catalyst and electrons supplied by a carbon electrode. This catalyst enables CO2 reduction that is considerably faster and more stable over time than the usual catalysts. The goal is to develop a process to exploit the carbon dioxide, one of the principal greenhouse gases.
