KANAZAWA, Japan, June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in ACS Nano how ultrathin layers of tin disulfide can be used to accelerate the chemical reduction of carbon dioxide - a finding that is highly relevant for our quest towards a carbon-neutral society.

Key Points: 
  • KANAZAWA, Japan, June 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Researchers at Kanazawa University report in ACS Nano how ultrathin layers of tin disulfide can be used to accelerate the chemical reduction of carbon dioxide - a finding that is highly relevant for our quest towards a carbon-neutral society.
  • Recycling carbon dioxide (CO2) released by industrial processes is a must in humanity's urgent quest for a sustainable, carbon-neutral society.
  • The researchers also carried out electrochemical measurements for bulk SnS2 powder, which was found to have less catalytic CO2 reduction activity.
  • But now, Yasufumi Takahashi from Kanazawa University and colleagues have found that the 2D metal dichalcogenide SnS2 displays no HER catalytic activity; instead, it is a catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formic acid - an extremely relevant property in the context of strategies for reducing the global CO2 footprint.
