Ceria Catalysis
- Shannon A. Fiume
Description
CO2 can be reduced by CeO2 resulting in solid carbon. A recent study was able to isolate solid carbon from CO2 from cerium nanoparticles (CeO2) suspended in room temperature liquid metal eutectic alloy galinstan (gallium, indium, and tin alloy): Room temperature CO2 reduction to solid carbon species on liquid metals featuring atomically thin ceria interfaces. This project will investigate what are the optimum vibration levels of CO2 for ceria.
