A Pressure-Swing Process for Reactive CO2 Capture and Conversion to Methanol through Precise Control of Co-Located Active Sites in Dual Functional Materials
The goals of this project are to design and develop tailored dual-functional materials (DFMs) and the accompanying pressure-swing process for the reactive capture and conversion (RCC) of CO 2 to methanol, a vital product in the chemical market and a versatile precursor to fuels. Throughout this project, NREL researcher team has successfully developed 2 groups of DFM and associated cyclic RCC procedure to selectivity produce either methanol or CO, which is a major intermediate for methanol synthesis with commercially available technologies.
