Breakthrough in sustainable syngas production from greenhouse gases using solar energy - EurekAlert


<p>In a paper published in <em>Science Bulletin</em>, Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, in collaboration with the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Canada and The Ohio State University in the USA, have achieved a significant breakthrough in the sustainable production of syngas, a crucial feedstock for the chemical industry and synthetic fuels. The team has developed an innovative photocatalytic system that harnesses solar energy to efficiently convert carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>), two major greenhouse gases, into syngas with high selectivity and reaction rates.</p>
