A step towards carbon neutrality, achieved with nano-nickel particles

Professor Jongsup Hong's research group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering has secured a high-stability nano-catalyst manufacturing technology with high conversion of CO2 and CH4 even at low temperatures. In order to promote the decomposition reaction of CO2, which generally has a high activation energy barrier and requires a high energy input, Professor Jongsup Hong's research group formed an optimal catalyst using a new anchoring technique with inexpensive nickel and alumina and evaluated its performance. The result of this study has significance in that it can contribute to the production of clean H2 and synthesis gas by actively utilizing the greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4). The result was published in 'Chemical Engineering Journal' (Impact Factor: 16.744, Top 2.62%, Volume 446) in October 2022.
