Subject: Cheap ZnO nanoparticles can catalyse CO2 to CO for Syngas.

“By making zinc oxide at very high temperatures, the team in Australia has now discovered this process spits out nanoparticles which can be used as the perfect catalyst for turning carbon dioxide into syngas.”

Is there anything zinc can’t do

transition takes Zn tablets. I wonder what they do.

maybe galvanise him into action.

Using what as an energy source? The conversion of CO into CO2?

Well you could do that I suppose, but it would seem to make more sense to use this as a means of storing energy from sources that don’t generate CO2.

Well I mean if you are using CO2 from the atmosphere as a feed then it should work out okay overall, right?
