Ionic liquids (ILs) are the safest solvent in various high-temperature applications due to their non-flammable properties. In order obtain thermal stability properties, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is extensively used analyze kinetics of decomposition process. This review summarizes different methods and finds isoconversional superior Arrhenius calculating activation energy, two tools—the compensation effect master plots—are suggested for calculation pre-exponential factor. With both...

Integrated CO2 capture and conversion (ICCC) into valuable chemicals such as CH4 CO is a promising approach to mitigate anthropogenic emissions. In this work, we prepared series of metal oxide (MxOy, M = Mg, Al, Mn, Y, Zr, La, Ce)-doped Ni/CaO dual-function materials (DFMs) applied them the ICCC process. The property–performance relationship DFMs was studied, mechanism captured explored. For any DFM at cycle (20 cycles in total), carbonation stage completely released CH4, CO, stage. Among...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) electroreduction offers an attractive pathway for converting CO2 to valuable fuels and chemicals. Despite the existence of some excellent electrocatalysts with superior selectivity specific products, these reactions are conducted at low current densities ranging from several mA cm−2 tens cm−2, which far commercially desirable values. To extend applications technology industrial scale, long-term operations under high (over 200 cm−2) desirable. In this paper, we review...

Abstract Integrated CO 2 capture and conversion (ICCC) is a promising technology aiming at converting waste to fuels high value‐added chemicals. Herein, we described proof‐of‐concept study of applying engineered natural ores (dolomite, magnesite, limestone) two different ICCC processes—intermediate‐temperature for CH 4 production (350–400°C) high‐temperature syngas (650–700°C). In the former process, MgO‐based sorbent prepared from dolomite magnesite was combined with methanation catalyst in...

Abstract CO 2 electroreduction (CO ER) provides a promising pathway for carbon utilization, but achieving high single‐pass conversion is hindered by mass transfer limitations and the scalability constraints of conventional reactor designs. This work introduces novel bubble‐plate electrolyzer (BPE) that incorporates cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) catalysts immobilized on paper substrates. design creates abundant dynamic triple‐phase interfaces, enhancing reaction kinetics. A gas‐facing catalyst...
