Molten salt electrolysis can be mainly categorized by the electrolytic bath (chloride and fluoride), the raw material (chloride, fluoride, and oxide), and the cathode (consumable and nonconsumable). The represe
The electrochemical reduction of CO2 is a pivotal technology for the defossilization of the chemical industry. Although pilot-scale electrolyzers exist, water management and salt precipitation remain a major hurdle to long-term operation. In this work, w
Powered by renewable energy sources such as solar, marine, geothermal and wind, generation of storable hydrogen fuel through water electrolysis provides a promising path towards energy sustainability. However, state-of-the-art electrolysis requires suppo
Owing to platinum’s inertness relative to the metal cations in the molten salt system in the present experiment, platinum wire (1 mm in diameter) was used as a reference electrode. A high-purity graphite crucible (inside diameter × height of 60 mm × 100 mm) was used as the ...
We constructed the four carbon shell models consisting of N-doped carbon shells (pyridinic-N, pyrrolic-N, and graphitic-N) and defective carbon shells without N atoms, observed in the experiment. The DFT-constructed models of carbon shells were utilized to estimate the HER activity. We modeled...
Synthesis gas (syngas) can be used in the Fischer-Tropsch process for the producing of synthetic liquid, hydrocarbon fuels. Construction of the ILS experiment is taking place during the summer of 2007, with initial shakedown testing planned for late August and the production of the first hydrogen...
