Splitting Carbon Dioxide for Energy Storage Using Copper Oxide Nanowire Catalyst

摘要

Storage methods are extremely necessary for a clean energy future and this requires the splitting of carbon dioxide (CO_2) into carbon monoxide to (CO) and oxygen. Though there have been experimental methods carried out earlier, the catalysts required for the reaction are extremely costly or the availability is low. There is a also a need to develop systems that have higher CO_2 to CO conversion efficiency.
