Heating of a
ruthenium surface on
which carbon monoxide and atomic oxygen are coadsorbed leads exclusively to desorption of carbon monoxide.
First, they reacted their pyrolysis oils with hydrogen over a
ruthenium and platinum catalyst,
which stripped out much of the oxygen from the acids and added hydrogen.
The process requires platinum, rhenium and
ruthenium catalysts, in the shape of sand or gravel pellets, all of
which are expensive and rare.
Carbon dioxide - laden water from a fossil - fuel plant would pass across
ruthenium catalyst membranes,
which would trigger artificial photosynthesis, breaking it down into oxygen as well as constituents that can be converted to fuel.
You could say that we have succeeded in performing modern alchemy by giving the iron properties
which resemble those of
ruthenium,» says Kenneth Wärnmark, Professor of Chemistry at the Faculty of Science at Lund University.
This system's performance is much higher than that obtained with a
ruthenium - based photosensitizer, due to the very high stability of inorganic quantum dots,
which can be recycled several times without notable loss of activity.
Bolshov says that a «rather rare meteorological event» might have transported the
ruthenium from an as - yet - unidentified place to the southern Urals, from
which it then appeared to spread.
His seminal contribution to the field of inorganic chemistry for renewable energy is molecular engineering of
ruthenium sensitizers,
which convert solar energy through the use of high surface area nanocrystalline mesoscopic films of oxide semiconductors.
