Nanoparticle catalysts convert carbon dioxide - EurekAlert
<p><em>As a greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) contributes to climate change as it accumulates in the atmosphere. One way to reduce the amount of unwanted CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere is to convert the gas into a useful carbon product that can be used to generate valuable compounds. A recent study attached fine nanoparticles of beta phase molybdenum carbide (β-Mo<sub>2</sub>C) catalysts on a silicon dioxide (SiO<sub>2</sub>) support to speed the conversion of CO<sub>2</sub> into more useful carbon monoxide (CO) gas. </em></p>
