Converting CO2 Into Fuel With the Help of Battery Waste | A nanocatalyst based on spent batteries and aluminium foil residues can turn CO2 into valuable methane.
A nanocatalyst based on spent batteries and aluminium foil residues can turn CO<sub>2</sub> into valuable methane.
"Recycling is an important step, but even greater impact can be achieved by upcycling nickel into catalysts capable of producing fuels," says Dr. Qaisar Maqbool, first author of the study. "Our nanocatalyst consists of 92-96% aluminium oxide and 4-8% nickel, which is optimal for converting the greenhouse gas CO 2 together with hydrogen into methane," explains Günther Rupprechter.
