Analysis and Design of Electrochemically-Mediated Carbon Dioxide Separation

Large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) separation is essential in the efforts to curb climate change, through applications in power stations, natural gas purification and enhanced oil recovery. This thesis describes the development of a novel CO2 separation technology that utilizes electrochemical cycling of metal ions to modulate the CO2 affinity of amine sorbents. By eliminating the large steam req...

AnionSelective Redox Electrodes: Electrochemically Mediated Separation with Heterogeneous Organometallic Interfaces

© 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim 3394 wileyonlinelibrary.com organic synthesis increases the production costs of the compound immensely due to limiting yields of sequential reactions, and thus small improvements in recovery can translate into tremendous economic benefi ts. [ 2 ] Similarly, many renewable energy pathways involve the reduction of stable molecules to form charged ...

Titanium-decorated graphene oxide for carbon monoxide capture and separation.

We propose titanium-decorated graphene oxide (Ti-GO) as an ideal sorbent for carbon monoxide (CO) capture and separation from gas mixtures. Based on first-principles calculations, Ti-GO exhibits a large binding energy of ~70 kJ mol(-1) for CO molecules, while the binding energies for other gases, such as N(2), CO(2), and CH(4), are significantly smaller. The gas adsorption properties of Ti-GO a...

Electrochemically mediated seawater desalination.

With global demand rising faster than availability, fresh water is quickly becoming a limited resource. In fact, the United Nations estimates one third of the world s population is living in water-stressed regions, and by 2025 this number is expected to double. Seawater desalination is an attractive solution to this problem because seawater accounts for more than 97% of the world s water supply...
