Identifying active surfaces for C2 decomposition relevant to the FC-CVD CNT synthesis process

Selecting for high quality carbon nanotube (CNT) growth during the floating catalyst vapour deposition (FC-CVD) synthesis process remains a challenge due to the coupling of physical and chemical phenomena inside the reactor. While there is evidence implicating C2 species as the p...

Sulfur Dioxide Disproportionation by Magnesium Sulfite as Intermediate

Solar-assisted thermochemical cycles can convert intermittent solar energy into storable chemical fuels. Within the European SULPHURREAL project, elemental sulfur is investigated as a long-term energy-storage medium in a cycle based on H2SO4, S, and SO2. This work investigates an...
