Description

Catalytic Refining CO2 and Seawater into Ethylene Carbonate and Hydrogen. This project aims to develop an innovative method to produce ethylene carbonate, a key industrial commodity, using carbon dioxide and seawater under ambient conditions. Traditional production methods rely on toxic materials and high-energy inputs. The project designs novel catalysts to catalytically produce ethylene carbonate and hydrogen using CO2 and seawater as reactants under ambient conditions. This method offers a sustainable alternative to conventional processes, reducing environmental impact and utilizing abundant resources. The expected outcomes include improved efficiency in green chemical production and potential benefits for energy storage technologies, contributing to a more sustainable and low-carbon future..
